Illimani Group

About ten years ago, thirteen hard-working women from Senkata formed the Illimani group. Group members mostly sell food, though some of them deal in plastic goods, underwear, wallets, hats, etc. Some members have their own storefronts, while others are set up along public roads. The Illimani group will use this loan to invest in and re-invigorate their businesses.

Ellas precisan de capital para poder comprar mercadería o insumos esto hará reactivar sus negocios.


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
