The Amanecer lending group was founded in January 2008 by 17 very active and mutually supportive women. They enjoy the concept of gaining access to working capital through the formation of social relations, seeing it as an opportunity to unite and stand in solidarity with one another. The group's members dedicate themselves to a variety of businesses. Basilisa, Rosaria, Andrea and Elva sell groceries; María Ángela, María Evergista, Clara, Norma, María Benita and Perla make and sell meals; Susana, Carmen, Benigna and Sofia make and sell clothing; Pabla sells jewelery; and Fermina and Felicita sell cleaning products.
The group counts on its members' mutual support and confidence in one another's projects. Although each member is individually responsible for their loan, together the group fosters a strong work ethic. Amanecer's members strongly believe in social inclusion and their community has been greatly strengthened by the growth of their group, improving the quality of life for many small businesswomen.
