The communal bank “Rosas Blancas” (White Roses), which is in its second loan cycle with Pro Mujer as part of Centro Focal de Villa Tejada, comprises eight members, and Elizabeth is its board secretary. The members engage in various businesses: selling hot dogs and fries; operating a tire shop; preparing food; selling chicken chicharrón; preparing potato and cheese dumplings; selling tires; selling furniture; and selling cosmetics.
This loan will help micro businesses such as Elizabeth's. She joined Pro Mujer eight months ago at the suggestion of her mother, who works with the institution. Elizabeth sells tires, a business she started a few years ago with a small amount of capital and guidance from her father, and she is now adding to her capital. She will use this loan to buy tires from distributors in the city of El Alto to sell in her shop. This work lets her earn enough to be financially stable, as she is still studying. When asked what she liked about Pro Mujer, she said access to medical appointments.
