Aracelys Pantaleon De La Cruz's Group

Now, the entrepreneur wants to start over, but seriously. Together with four other women, she’ll take a loan which she’ll invest in the purchase of a variety of materials in order to operate the cafeteria. Aracelys had already rented a small locale where the café will be operated. She hopes that this new beginning will help her support her children's educations and to change her family’s life.

The others members of the group are:
Gloria Lando Santana, a women’s clothing retailer;
Juliana Andrés, to buy clothing in bulk to retail;
Santa De La Cruz, for a small café;
Regina Torres Fabian, to sell materials for a beauty parlor.

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
