Pankaritas Group

The eleven women who are members of the association Pankaritas of the Villa Tejada Center in the city of El Alto are engaged in various activities like the purchase of clothing, the sale of vegetables in markets, and the sale of toys and other products that they bring from the town of Desaguadero to be sold in markets around the city. The partners of this group require capital to acquire new merchandise and thus improve their opportunity to sell their products. This will allow them to substantially improve their income and way of life.

Translated from Spanish by Patrick King, Kiva Volunteer

Actividades múltiples, como la comercialización de ropa, venta de vegetales y hortalizas en mercados y ferias, venta de juguetes, y otros productos que traen de la localidad Desaguadero para su comercialización en mercados y ferias de la ciudad, son algunas de las actividades que caracterizan a once mujeres pertenecientes a la asociación “Pankaritas” del Centro Focal Villa Tejada en la ciudad de El Alto, quienes formaron un grupo nuevo en este centro. Todas estas actividades hacen que las socias de este grupo precisen capital para poder adquirir mercadería nueva, así comercializarla con mejor oportunidad y mejorar sustancialmente sus ingresos y su forma de vida.
