A large number of the members have grocery stores, cosmetic catalogue sales businesse, and sell clothes, bread, food, and other services. Like in all commercial areas there is always competition for supply and demand but the associates know how to prosper, now that supporting their families depends on this. The loan is destined to increase their merchandise and for the acquisition of consumbales and tools that help to increase their earnings and improve the quality of life of their families, like they have been doing with previous finances. This group has had 3 cycles demonstrating responsbility and honesty in the fulfilment of their obligations.

Written by Bismarck Lopez, Translated by Nilima Achwal

They used the loan to improve their quality of life since with the increase of capital, their income has increased and now they are happier and grateful. The improvement in their businesses has been very good since they could diversify the materials that they sell and there is more demand for their goods. Teresa is a member who makes bread and is now in charge of delivering bread in bulk to bakeries and markets since she could increase her quantity of production, thanks to the Kiva loan. The members' qualities of lives have improved very much, above all in daily nutrition since they now can buy all of the necessary food to survive. They had no problem in paying back their loan. The goals of Socios Unidos is to grow their businesses and improve their and their families' quality of life every day, thanks to the help of their Kiva loan.
