The “Las Bendecidas” Microfinance Institute, represented by Monica, is comprised of 15 members who sell vegetables, beverages, food, and cosmetics. The men in the group are in the bread making or home construction business. Despite the fact that competition is high, they know how to get head with their businesses. The loan will be used to expand their businesses by purchasing merchandise, supplies and tools so that they can increase profits, allowing them to offer their families a better quality of life. As far as their loan experience goes, the members are currently in their first loan cycle in our institute, but they are happy that they have been given the financial support that will help them generate better profits and improve their families’ quality of life.
