Paso De Oro Group's story
Graciela is a member of the Paso De Oro credit group and she currently works selling ice creams and cleaning products as a way to provide for her family. She has been in this business for some time and decided to start it with the wellbeing of her loved ones in mind and with the aim of generating additional income and contributing to the household expenses.
In addition, Graciela has a dream: to build a stall in front of her house. This space will enable her to display her products in an accessible and comfortable manner so that her customers can purchase them easily. With this initiative, Graciela hopes to grow her business, improve her earnings and ensure financial stability for her family.
With the current loan she plans to invest in detergent kits, bleach, air freshener, fabric softener, ice cream, lollipops, glasses and sweets, amongst other products.
The other group members work selling food and clothing, and have a junkyard, a veterinary practice and pharmacy, amongst other types of business.
