Elizardo Perez Group

Twelve people make up the "Elizardo Perez" group. They have been working alongside the Pro-Mujer family for three years at the focal point Alto Lima located in the July 16 area of the city of El Alto.

This group engages in several activities such as sewing, weaving by machine, selling sports pants, hand-woven sweaters, jackets and others are engaged in carpentry. The group Luz y Vida affirms that it needs to generate more income, because what the members earn is not enough to support their families economically. This is why they need this loan to purchase merchandise in larger quantities.
