This group is made up of seventeen women who work in the Cabañas neighborhood of the city of Caacupé. The women do a number of different types of work, but this does not affect the high level of coordination within the group. At this time, the women have reached their eleventh loan cycle with the Women Entrepreneurs program at Fundacion Paraguaya, and they maintain a line of credit of 740,000 Guaranís (about US$ 150) per member.



The group was formed during early meetings at the home of Mrs. Ninfa Vazquez, who learned about the idea from a cousin who is involved with another group. With this information, the women began to organize themselves and soon afterward, they had the initial fifteen members that are necessary to form a group.



Mrs. Ada Aguero, president of the group, acknowledges that during the committee's first cycles, it was somewhat difficult for the group to come to a consensus as there were always many disparate opinions. Nevertheless, as time passed, the group was strengthened and today it is characterized by harmony and a mutual respect among all the members. The members believe that there is a simple factor that allows a committee to be successful: each member should stay committed to the objectives they set, individually and as a member of the group.
