Johanny Felicia Polanco Cabera's Group

Johanny Felicia is twenty-nine years old and the coordinator of a group of five active women that carry on businesses in the Casabe community of Santo Domingo. Johanny and her husband (a blacksmith) have four children, ranging from four to thirteen years old, all of whom attend school. She has a butcher shop which she started about thirteen months ago. The entrepreneur says that her shop is well established in the community and she’s not afraid of the competition. Johanny doesn’t raise livestock, so she has to constantly purchase animals in order to keep operating her business. She hopes her business will allow her and her husband to improve their family’s lifestyle.
The other members of the group are:
Violeta Jean La Fler, who spend her loan to buy various products to prepare natural juices and other goods.
Ana Josefa Cabrera will buy livestock for her butcher shop.
María Nelly Marmolejos Kelly and Cristina Caleises Selmo will buy metals and aluminum sheets to resell.

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
