Jahuas Pancarita Group

The association named “Jahuas Pankarita” (Water Flowers) works in the focal center of the village of Exaltación, which forms part of the Pro-Mujer family. To date, they have 12 members who have demonstrated how organized and responsible they are with respect to their loan payments and internal activities.

A majority of this group’s members are married and have children, almost all of whom are of school age. All of them count with the economic support of their partners; however, their living expenses are greater than their combined income which is why they must make a great effort to obtain financial stability for their children.

Vending is one of the activities of the Jahuas Pankarita, such as selling vegetables, fruits and cereals. On the other hand, some members dedicate themselves to carpentry and make doors, windows, and tables, among other items.

In general, they work solely on order. They need additional capital to buy raw materials with the goal of producing an inventory of furniture to put on display and in this way obtain greater sales.

La asociación denominada “Jahuas Pankarita” (Flores de Agua) trabaja en el centro focal de Villa Exaltación que forma parte de la familia de Pro-Mujer, a la fecha cuenta con 12 miembros que han demostrado ser muy organizados y responsables en cuanto a sus cuotas de crédito y actividades internas.
Dentro el grupo la mayoría son casadas y con hijos, casi todos en edad escolar, todas ellas económicamente, cuentan con el apoyo de sus parejas, pero los gastos que tienen en sus hogares son mayores a los ingresos de ambos por lo que deben esforzarse más en conseguir estabilidad económica para sus hijos.
El comercio es una de las actividades de la asociación Jahuas Pankatita, como ser la venta de verdura, fruta, cereales, por otra parte también algunas socias se dedican a la carpintería, realizan puertas, ventanas, mesas, entre otros.
Por lo general trabajan a pedido solamente. Necesitan mayor capital para la compra de materia prima, con el fin de producir un stok de muebles para exponerlos y así obtener mayores ventas.
