The group “Fortaleza” [Strength] was formed by enterprising, responsible, and committed women to improve the quality of their families’ lives. They live in popular communities where living conditions are average.
This is the case with 39-year-old Karla. She works buying and selling basic necessities. She has a grocery store in her house. This business has allowed her to generate income to be able to help with her household expenses.
With the previous loan, she re-stocked her business in order to offer a variety to her clientele. Karla aspires to make her business larger to gain more customers.
The rest of the group is made up of Diana, Luvia, Patricia, Ana, Charito, Berenice, Alejandra, and Rosa. They are women who strive to get ahead along with their families.
In this group: Diana, Luvia, Cruz Patricia, Karla Yoshimara, Ana Patricia, Charito, Berenice Guadalupe, Alejandra, Rosa
