These women possess a great entrepreneurial spirit and above all are dedicated to responsibly managing their group loan, with the intent of changing their lives both personally and financially.

They are humble, hard workers; each woman is trying to overcome her family’s financial situation with much effort and dedication. The women fight day after day, without losing enthusiasm or energy despite economic hardships. These same women are seeking a loan of 500,000 PYG and 300,000 PYG. They realize this is a unique opportunity and will be very responsible and committed to repaying the loan together.
