Seventeen women constitute part of the Bella Vista Association, which belongs to the main Los Andes Group. The Los Andes Group has worked in partnership with Pro-Mujer for the last eight years and it has always complied with the terms of the loans granted to it.

Almost all the children confirm that the financial support of their families is basically the responsibility of their mothers since, unfortunately, most of the women were abandoned by their husbands, forcing them to become heads of their households.

Handicraft is the main activity of the group and original garments woven in Alpaca wool are in great demand by their customers. In addition, members of the association also produce quilts, blankets, scarves, etc. They need more capital to buy raw materials for making more products and to enable them to export these products.

Translated from Spanish by MuseAndThinker, Kiva Volunteer



17 mujeres forman parte de la asociación Bella Vista que pertenece al centro focal Los Andes que trabaja junto a Pro-Mujer hace ocho años, demostrando siempre cumplimiento en cuanto a sus créditos.
Casi todas hijos afirman que la economia de sus hogares depende basicamente de ellas ya que lamentablemente a la mayor parte de ellas sus esposos las abandonaron teniendo que ser jefes de familia.
La artesanía es la actividad principal del grupo, originales prendas tejidas en lana de alpaca son la mayor atracción para sus compradores,, además también producen mantas, mantillas, chalinas y otros. Necesitan mayor capital para la compra de materia prima para, realizar mayores productos y poderlos distribuir al exterior.

La Asociación Comunal Bella Vista, durante el préstamo obtenido, tuvo dificultades de pago ya que tres integrantes no pudieron cancelar sus cuotas a tiempo, generando malestar y malas relaciones en el interior de grupo. Haciendo un esfuerzo al llegar al último pago todas cancelaron su deuda y decidieron cerrar el grupo.

Bella Vista recibió 9 sesiones de capacitación en temas de Salud y Destrezas en Negocios.
