Sembradoras Group

Selling beans, CDs, plastics, clothing and woven blankets are some of the businesses of members of the "Sembradoras" group, which is, in turn, a part of the Regional Office “German Busch”.

They came together as a group approximately 3 years ago because of a need for capital that would allow them to improve their businesses. A clear example is the business of Primitiva Ticona, who is 48 years old and supports her three children by herself, since she was widowed two years ago. She sells clothing, such as t-shirts and shorts, which she brings to los Yungas (a warm climate). She needs to increase her inventory, for which she requested the loan.

Venta de haba, CDs, productos plásticos, ropa y tejido de mantas, son algunos de los negocios de las integrantes del grupo “Sembradoras” que a su vez pertenece al Centro Focal “German Busch”.
Se agruparon hace aproximadamente tres años por la necesidad de contar un capital que les permita mejorar sus negocios. Un ejemplo claro es lo que hace Primitiva Ticona de 48 años que sola mantiene a sus tres hijos ya que enviudó hace dos años, ella vende ropa como poleras, shorth y los lleva a los Yungas ( lugar cálido) y requiere incrementar mercadería por lo que solicitó el préstamo.



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
