Las Divninas De Chalco Group

Paulina Angelica lives in the semiurban municipality of Valle de Chalco Solidaridad, located in Mexico State, Mexico. She is 24, married, and expecting her first baby. Her pregnancy causes her some anxiety due to her preoccupation with the expenses she has and is not able to cover. She has worked as a seamstress and would like to buy a sewing machine to make clothing items to sell. This would allow her to generate income to help her to cover basic necessities for her baby without neglecting her baby and husband. For this reason she is seeking a loan through Kiva field partner Fundacion Realidad ("Reality Foundation") in conjunction with various neighbors from her community who together form the group Las Divinas de Chalco.
