Las Orquideas Group

Eliana leads the Orquídeas group, which is one of the banks that has demonstrated responsibility and completion of their payments during previous loan cycles with the institution.

For the most part, the members of this large group are involved in the businesses of selling food, selling clothes, selling meat, making handmade weavings, and making bread. Some members offer services such as taking care of children, working as employees, nurses and farmers.

The loan is to get merchandise and increase working capital. This is in order to keep getting better and to grow together with the institution that offers them economic support. This support helps their families to get ahead and offers them a better quality of life. This is how to help to personally improve each one of its members.

About Group Loans
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a group of individuals bound by a group guarantee. Under this arrangement, each member of the group supports one another and is responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members if someone is delinquent or defaults. Learn more
