A loan helped a member to buy and sell groceries.


Andy Group's story

The Andy group is formed by enterprising and responsible women committed to improving their families' quality of life. They live in working-class colonies where living conditions are average.

Such is the case of Arminda, 67 years old and single, with three school-aged children. For 30 years, she has worked buying and selling staple products. She has a grocery store in her house where she sells canned food, cleaning products, and more. This activity has allowed her to generate income to be able to support herself with her family's expenses.

With her loan, she will restock her store to be able to offer her customers a variety.

Arminda aspires to continue with her store and make it larger, as the generated income is a great support.

The rest of the group is formed by Paulina, Sonia, Manuela, Viviana, Atilana, Doris, Alexa, Adela, Rosa and Carmen, women who struggle at their families' side to get ahead.

In this group: Paulina, Sonia, Manuela, Viviana, Atilana, Doris Maria, Arminda De La Cruz, Alexa Cristell, Adela, Rosa Elena, Maria Del Carmen
