A loan helped a member make purchases for her store, where she sells clothing and footwear.


Vida Y Esperanza 1 Group's story

Vida Y Esperanza is a communal bank in its third cycle. Most of its members are engaged in the sale of clothing, shoes and accessories, but some have businesses butchering pigs and selling handicrafts.

Ana Delia (in the middle of the photo, with the white shirt and blue jeans) is 20 years old and the secretary of the communal bank. She is a charismatic and social woman. She is also married and has one son. A total of three people live in her house.

Ana Delia’s dream is to grow her store and be a recognized merchant.

She will use her loan to purchase clothes and shoes. Her business is a store, and what she likes about it is that she is her own boss. She manages it and can make decisions.

The great challenge she has is being able to buy much more inventory to diversify her business.

Ana Delia believes that women are capable of making good decisions, and that leads us to success. Please be part of that success!
