Villa Dolores Group

Almost all of the women are married, with numerous families and they tell us that their daily household expenses surpass the income they receive from their businesses, especially since their children's needs are growing as they get older.

Most of the group sells various goods, primarily as traveling salespeople. They sell, for example, a variety of cosmetics, condiments and sweets amongst other products. They say that in traveling sales, the products are often damaged and have to be cast away. This means they need a reinforcement of capital to enable them to secure a fixed location in markets or on main streets where they will have guaranteed sales and can maintain their products in good condition.


This will lead to improved revenue and a more stable quality of life.

La asociación Villa Dolores pertenece al centro focal de Villa Tejada, con la ayuda de su asistente de créditos trabajan muy responsables en todas sus actividades de grupo.

Casi todas casadas, con familias numerosas nos cuentan que los gastos diarios que tienen en sus hogares sobrepasan al ingreso que obtienen en sus negocios ya que sus hijos van creciendo y necesitan mayores necesidades.

La mayor parte del grupo se dedica a comercio, de distintos productos, venta que la realizan de forma ambulante, por ejemplo, venden variedad de cosméticos, venta de condimentos, venta de dulces y otros. Afirman que este tipo de venta, por el movimiento, maltratan los productos y en ocasiones deben desecharlos por lo que ellas necesitan un refuerzo en su capital para poder obtener puestos fijos en mercados o en principales calles donde obtengan ventas seguras y mantengan sus productos en optimas condiciones. Luego mejorarían sus ingresos y su estabilidad de vida.

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.
