Pasanqueri Group

This particular women's group is new and is in its 2nd cycle. All are very excited and happy to start their own businesses so that they can support their families. They all have large families and need to help their spouses with the household costs, especially since the majority of them have children who are old enough for school, but they do not have the money to give them a proper education.

There are several types of businesses within the group. For example, Don Carlitos has a public taxi service. Also, members sell clothing, condiments, produce, and cosmetics. They sell these goods retail, and have to purchase them wholesale in order to sell them as street vendors.

The entire group needs a larger loan to be able to get the products wholesale and, thus, expand their businesses and increase their profits. With these improvements, they will be able to support their families and pay the loans back quicker.
