Yoselin is the group representative and group leader. She is a very hard working mother of 3 young children who are all under the age of 10. She has a small business selling under garments. Yoselin said she is excited about continuing to grow her business.



Yoselin has dreams of being able to have her own house where she can provide her children a comfortable life. She hopes to have enough money to send her children to college and allow them to have a different life.

On behalf of Yoselin, the group, and Esperanza International----- Thank you for your support!!!

Mujeres Solidarias Update
 
Entrepreneur: Mujeres Solidarias Group
Location: Hato Mayor, Dominican Republic

Hello from Hato Mayor, Dominican Republic! I would like to give you an update about the microloan you helped fund last year.

Yoselin and her women´s undergarment business did very well. She was able to make more money by buying more inventory and is now one step closer to her dream of owning her own house.

She is glad that with the extra money she is making, she will be able to send her 5 year old to school next year, along with her other 3 children.

Yoselin is now almost halfway done with finishing her high school degree. She hopes to set a good example for her children by showing them that education is important.

On behalf of Yoselin and everyone in the Mujeres Solidarias group, thank you for providing an opportunity for the people that need it most.
