Altagracia Reyes Puente's Group

Altagracia coordinates the activities of this group of five women, all of whom live and operate small businesses in the Guerra community of Santo Domingo. Altagracia is 48 years old and has three grown children who live with their families. Altagracia lives alone, as she's been separated from her husband for about five years. To earn a living, she operates a small grocery store in her home. Every day, people visit her store to purchase goods such as beans, cooking oil, rice, sausage, and other basic foodstuffs. Altagracia also sells beer which is one of the most requested products. This loan is to replenish the store since turnover in this kind of business is very quick. Altagracia hopes that her business will allow her to maintain a comfortable lifestyle.

The members of Altagracia's group are:
Australia Cueva Sena, who operates a cafeteria,
Daniela Reyes Liriano, who sells clothing,
Sencion Guzman Liriano, who sells clothing,
Carmen Elisa Castillo, who sells footwear.

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
