Walisuma Group

Rosmary De La Oliva is 35 years old and recently joined Walisuma group with a neighbor’s invitation. She worked with Pro Mujer in another group for about 7 years. She took a break and is back for a loan because she likes her work, and pays more attention to health issues, especially the fluoridation campaigns for children.

Rosmary sells food, specializing in broaster (baked) chicken. She has her store in 16 de Julio (a street fair) and she does well, and now wants to get new furniture for her store.

Her fellow group members have different economic activities like selling eggs, detergents, clothing, fruits and food. They wish their businesses to grow by having a bit more capital with which to work.
