This group was formed over a year ago and is in the third round of funding by the Comité de Mujeres Emprendedoras (“Women Entrepreneurs Committee”) programme that has established the Fundación Paraguaya. Members are based in the Reducto neighbourhood of the city of San Lorenzo and are engaged in a variety of activities such as selling clothes, food, and natural remedies, either from home or door to door. The group is a stable group and there is solidarity and co-operation amongst its members. They ensure repayments are made on time and whenever a member becomes ill, others, through fundraising activities, come to her assistance. They have managed to save around $250, which they have invested in a local co-operative.

This latest round of financing is a testimony to the women’s strong desire to improve their economic conditions and self-esteem through performing key activities and mutual assistance. This is an important process leading to the strengthening of the bonds within Paraguayan families.

In accordance with the business activities of members, this loan is to purchase meat, cheese, vegetables, children and adult clothes, ice cream, soft drinks and beer. They also wish to diversify into mail-order business selling cosmetics.

El comité LA ESPERANZA se formó hace ya más de un año, son un grupo que esta en el tercer ciclo del programa Comité de Mujeres Emprendedoras que desarrolla la Fundación Paraguaya. Todas son vecinas del barrio llamado Reducto en la ciudad de San Lorenzo.


Las señoras se dedican a distintos tipos de actividades entre ellas algunas tienen su negocio en su casa como despensas, las demás hacen venta de ropas, remedios naturales y comidas, algunas en su casa y otras recorren de puerta en puerta.


Como grupo es un comité estable y responsable que paga sus cuotas con puntualidad y dentro del grupo son solidarias y trabajadoras, ellas ya poseen un ahorro de G.1.070.000, que lo depositan en una Cooperativa de la zona. Además realizan actividades en conjunto como rifas y venta de comidas típicas para lograr un fondo de caja de auxilio para casos en que alguien se enferme, o poder adelantar sus pagos como grupo en la Fundación.


En este ciclo se nota la dedicación de las señoras por salir adelante y el apoyo de su grupo ha sido fundamental para hacerlas crecer en su actividades económicas y también en su autoestima que se ha desarrollado por la forma en que ellas son protagonistas e importantes con su trabajo en el grupo. Y un punto muy importante el fortalecimiento de los hogares paraguayos.


De acuerdo a las actividades de las señoras destinarán los fondos del crédito para la compra de mercaderías; en caso de las que poseen despensas compra de carne, queso, verduras. En el caso de las vendedoras de ropas comprarán ropas para adultos y niños, también en el caso de las señoras de venta de comida pretenden invertir en otros ramos como venta de productos de cosméticos por catalogo. Además algunas desean comprar helados y bebidas varias como gaseosas, cervezas, jugos, entre otros.
