The communal bank Rosas De Nueva Esperanza will start its third cycle in Pro Mujer as part of the Senkata regional center. This group is made up of eight members and is managed by a board of directors where Eugenia is the secretary. The members are involved in various businesses, including the sale of blankets, flowers, armchair covers, quilts, detergents and clothing.
The loan that they are taking out will benefit small owners of microenterprises, such as Eugenia. She says that she joined Pro Mujer three years ago at the invitation of a neighbor who is a client of the institution. Currently, she has a business selling blankets. She learned this business working as a saleswoman, and decided to start her own business three years ago.
The loan she is taking out now will increase her capital through the wholesale purchase of blankets that she will get from the sellers in the city of El Alto. She will then sell them from her sales location. This work allows her to generate income to support her family financially. She is in a common-law marriage and has two children.
When asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, Eugenia answers that she likes the savings offered by the institution.
In this group: Eugenia, Sonia, Alicia, Valeria, Julia, Isidora, Ciprian, Maria
