Carmen Xiomara Mejia Morales's Group

Carmen Xiomara is a single and positive woman living with her parents in Sabana Grande de Boyá, a community located in Monte Plata, about two hours northeast of Santo Domingo. She’s a primary school teacher. To diversify her income, she also sells women’s clothing in her neighborhood.

Carmen Xiomara is a good dressmaker. She’d like to have her own sewing workshop, but she doesn’t have the required materials nor does she have enough money to purchase them. She’ll keep saving money so that someday she can have her workshop.

Carmen feels strong concern for children who don’t have the opportunity to attend school. She plans to expand a small organization she started recently with other teachers. Beginning next January, she expects to receive funds from different social organizations and utilize them to improve education and alleviate hunger of unprivileged children. We hope that Carmen will succeed in her endeavor, since there are many children that need this help.

Carmen has requested a loan to buy more clothing to retail during the holiday’s period. She says that she’ll do her utmost to repay it quickly so that she can take a larger loan very soon.

Carmen will receive her loan together with the following women:
Segunda Mejia Javier, who sells used and new clothing;
Teodora Cabrera, who sells jewelry;
Yenni Isabel Peralta Garcia, who sells footwear;
