Baul De Las Chicas Group's story
The Baúl de las Chicas group is formed by enterprising and responsible women committed to improving their families' quality of life. They live in working-class colonies where living conditions are average.
Such is the case of Conchita, 34 years old, with two school-aged children. For six years, she has worked buying and selling clothing for the whole family. She sells to her relatives, friends, and neighbors in nearby colonies. This activity has allowed her to be able to support herself with the family expenses.
With the loan, she will purchase seasonal clothing to be able to offer her customers a variety.
Conchita aspires to be able to establish her business in some retail space as she currently sells from house to house.
The rest of the group is formed by Elena, Carlota, Concepción, Nora, Norma, Cintia, Leidi, Guadalupe and Candelaria, women who struggle at their families' side to get ahead.
In this group: Maria Elena, Maria Conchita, Carlota, Concepcion, Nora Janette Del Sagrado Corazon, Norma Isabel, Cintia Cecilia, Leidi Yuridia, Guadalupe, Candelaria
