Veronica is 30 years old and has a two-year-old child. Veronica owns a small food vendor store, which she started in 2007. Every day, she works from 6am to 9:30pm at her business and can earn a monthly profit of about $240 from her sales.


Veronica now hopes for a loan to buy more food items for her business. She will share this loan with her subgroup member, Edita, who has a business selling clothes (a "batique").

This is a group loan. The loan funds will be distributed among the group members, each of whom will invest in her own business. The members mutually guarantee one another's loans. If one member does not repay, the other members are responsible.



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
