The committee is integrated by 18 hard working women from the area of Cabañas, in the city of Caacupé. They are all micro entrepreneurs who are in the eight cycle of the program of the committee of the Entrepreneurial Womens through which each member receives 550 000 guaranis.

At the beginning, the committee started its meetings at Francisca Colman's home. Francisca is the current president of the committee and she can be very demanding towards her colleagues, specially the ones who are unpunctual.
The committee organizes events, like parties for kids at the church's courtyard in order to collect some funds.
Mrs Francisca says that the only way to give satisfaction to the children is to work together. Moreover, she says that thanks to the Fundación Paraguaya they were able to create a commission in order to organize activities in the community as to clean the church's courtyard, the streets, the main square, etc.

The women in the committee will use the loan they request now in order to invest in they different activities as to sell homemade candies, potato chips, charcoal, chicken, food and beverages.

El comité está compuesto por 18 señoras trabajadoras de la compañía Cabañas, de la ciudad de Caacupé, todas son pequeñas microempresarias informales y actualmente están en 8to. Ciclo del programa de comité de Mujeres Emprendoras, ellas están siendo beneficiadas con un crédito promedio de 550.000 mil guaraníes a cada integrantes.



El comité se inició con las primeras reuniones en la casa de la señora Francisca Colman, actual presidenta del comité y una de las característica de la señora Colman es de que es una persona muy exigentes con sus compañeras especialmente con las señoras impuntuales.



El comité se aboca a un proyecto, como la mayoría de los comités, de realizar una chocolatada para los niños en su día, la misma tienen pensado realizar en el patio de la capilla de la zona, para el efecto ya realizaron con anterioridad actividades para generar fondos.



La señora Francisca, comenta que la única forma de crear algún tipo de satisfacción para los niños es la de trabajar unidos y gracias a la Fundación Paraguaya pudimos conformar una comisión que ya ha dejado sus huellas en el barrio como la de limpiar el patio de la capilla, las veredas de las calles, la plaza municipal, etc.



El crédito que solicitan desean invertirlos en sus actividades que consisten en: venta de chipas, venta de dulces caseros, despensas, venta de carbón, cría de pollos, venta de comidas y venta de bebidas.
