Flor De Naranjo Group

The “Flor de Naranjo” (Orange Blossom) Association is a group of women who are part of the “Juan Pablo II” Community Center, which has been in existence for 12 years. They have been brought together because they need operating capital to continue their business activities, improve their families’ incomes, and supplement their spouses’ earnings. They know that competition exists and are constantly improving so that they can keep up with the marketplace.

The members have different businesses such as selling clothes, groceries, vegetables, cosmetics, and stuffed animal toys. Others manufacture shoes and tapestries. They all need a loan in order to buy merchandise or tools (such as shoe trees) needed for their businesses.

“Flor de naranjo” es un grupo de señoras que pertenecen al Centro Focal “Juan Pablo II”, con aproximadamente 12 años de vida, cuentan que se agruparon por la necesidad de contar con un capital de trabajo que les permita emprender un negocio y así mejorar los ingresos de sus familias, ya que lo que los ingresos de sus esposos no alcanzaba, ahora están concientes de que existe mucha competencia y tienen que ir mejorando constantemente para mantenerse en el mercado, así todas tienen negocios diferentes como la venta de ropa, víveres, verduras, cosméticos, peluches, y otras de dedican la producción de zapatos y tapiz. Todas necesitan el préstamo para la compra de mercadería o herramientas de trabajo como una nueva horma de zapato.
