Casillas Hacia El Futuro Community-Owned Bank's story
Meet Casillas Hacia El Futuro Community-Owned Bank!
In the charming town of Casillas in rural Honduras, agriculture and commerce are the pillars that sustain the community. Families grow corn and beans, ensuring basic nutrition and daily sustenance, while merchants contribute to local development with their food and retail businesses.
However, opportunities to grow and diversify these activities remain limited and the community leaders united to form a community-owned and community-led banking cooperative to provide financial inclusion and financial literacy for their community.
Casillas Hacia El Futuro Community-Owned Bank is applying for a loan to:
1. Promote agriculture: Focusing on vegetable cultivation, farmers will be able to diversify their
production and enhance food security, generating additional income for their families.
2. Strengthen commerce: Entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to expand their food and retail businesses, meeting community needs and creating new jobs.
“We want a future where our families can thrive without having to leave our land. This loan is an opportunity to plant hope and harvest well-being,” shares a local farmer-member of this association.
With your support, Casillas can turn these aspirations into reality. Thank you for supporting this loan, let’s make this dream possible together!
