Juliana Calcaño is a young mother of two children, ages 7 and 9. In order to spend time with her children while continuing to earn a living, she has opened a small salon in her home. In the Dominican Republic, the women go the salon once a week for a hair wash and straightening. Juliana provides hair services, manicures, and different skin treatments. She sought out Esperanza to acquire a small loan that will allow her to buy more shampoos, conditioners, and nail products. As her business continues to grow, she hopes to employ several other young women to work in her salon alongside her. In her free time, Juliana loves to cook and says that cake is definitely her specialty.

Juliana Calcaño is just one member of the 20 person bank, Mano Amigo. These Dominican entrepreneurs unite in solidarity, allowing them access to funding that they would otherwise never be able to receive on their own. The concept of this group bank paying their loan together is to reduce the risk of one person defaulting, as the othe members gladly help cover one another’s payments in order to receive their next loan together.

On behalf of Juliana, the Mano Amigo group, and the entire team here at Esperanza International, we thank you for your support and awareness of the global issue of poverty that you are helping to solve.

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
