The “Kuña Katupyry” group was formed by several neighbors in the Las Garzas neighborhood of San Antonio. Ever since its start, trust and unity directed the group, and today, “Kuña Katupyry” is one of the most solid committees in the Fundación Paraguaya


The members of the committee are both workers and mothers. Many members are not present in the photograph taken here, as they are participating in an important assembly that was called by the neighborhood council that they are active in.


All the members have their own activities that they earn money from. Among these are: fashion designing, fast food sales, school cafeterias, mini-pharmacies, small grocery stores, crafts, bookstores, clothing sales, and lingerie sales.


The loan will be used to buy various goods, such as needles, thread, embroidery goods, and paints, in the case of the artisans, while the vendors will use their credit to buy articles for sale, including bread, milk, rice, caramels, pastries, clothing, medicine, and so on.



Translated from Spanish by Shannon Skoglund, Kiva volunteer.



El Comité “Kuña Katupyry” se formó a partir de la unión de varias vecinas del barrio Las Garzas de la ciudad de San Antonio; desde un principio, primó en el comité la confianza y la solidaridad y hasta hoy día, “kuña Katupyry”, es uno de los comités más sólidos de la Fundación Parguaya.


Las integrantes del comité son madres y trabajadoras, por lo que las une ambas cosas. En la fotografía tomada, no se encuentran gran parte de las integrantes, quienes en ese momento estaban participando de una asamblea muy importante, convocada por la comisión vecinal del barrio la cual ellas son participes aditivas.


Todas las integrantes tienen sus actividades propias con las que hacen trabajar su capital; las diversas actividades son: modista, venta de comidas rápidas, cantinas escolares, venta de medicamentos (mini farmacias), despensas, venta de artesanías, librerías, venta de ropas y lencerías.


El crédito será utilizado para la compra de diferentes artículos como hilos, telas, agujas para bordar, pinturas; en el caso de las artesanas, mientras que las comerciantes (despensa, vendedores ambulantes, farmacias, etc.) utilizaron su crédito para la compra de artículos para la venta, tales como leche, panes, arroz, caramelos, pastas, ropas, medicamentos, etc.
