Los Capulines Group's story

The Los Capulines group is made up of enterprising and responsible women who are committed to improving the quality of life of their families. They live in working-class communities where the living conditions are so-so.

This is the case of Sandra, 38. She lives in a common-law marriage and is the mother of three children.

She has worked for three years buying and selling perfume. She sells to family members, friends, and neighbors in the nearby communities. This job enables her to earn income to help with her family's expenses.

With her loan she'll buy more perfumes so she can offer her customers a variety.

Sandra is aiming to be able to establish her business in some shop because at the moment she sells door-to-door.

The rest of the group is Marilu, Cresencia, Janeth, Susana, and Isela, women who are looking to get ahead alongside their families.

In this group: Sandra Isela, Marilu, Cresencia, Janeth Pascuala, Susana Yamileth, Isela Cristel
