This group consists of five humble but assiduous women who live in La Victoria. La Victoria is an impoverished community located about 45 minutes north of the capital, Santo Domingo; most of the people are unemployed and have a poor level of education.


Ana Luisa, a mother of 5 children, is the leader of the group. Her loan is to restart a small business of selling men’s and women’s underwear. Ana Luisa sold these items in the past, but a lack of capital forced her to stop the business. Now that she’ll receive this loan, she hopes that she’ll have success in her endeavor so she can provide a better lifestyle for her children.


The other members of the group are:


  • Martina De La Cruz, a jewelry retailer
  • Josefa Piña, who sells clothing
  • Corporina Vallejo Rivera, who sells sweets and candies
  • Zunilda Medrano, who sells used clothing

Shown in the picture from left to right are: Zulnilda, Martina, Ana Luisa, Corporina, and Josefa.
