This community bank, "Las Muchachitas", is represented by Rosario María and is made up of 12 members, 11 women and one man, who live on Tres Pasos Avenue. Rosario María and Veracruz are mother and daughter buth each has her own independent source of income. Each of the members has a different business, such as selling cosmetics from catalogues, selling food, bread, offering cleaning services, residential construction services and dressmaking. There is a great deal of competition to their business in the variety of products offered for sale: the members rely on their experience and the quality of their products to face the competition and make more money each day; because of this, they need the loan to acquire more raw materials to improve the quality of their goods as well as their work tools to give their goods a better finish. Most of the members have experience with group loans as they have experience borrowing from other financial institutions similar to Fundación Agrocapital in which they have demonstrated their punctuality and responsibility.
