El Grupo Solidario La Paz está formado por Yolanda Guillermina Pérez Castillo quien es la coordinadora del grupo, Domingo Rojas González y Jorge Elí Pérez Guerrero, provenientes de la ciudad de Nindiri-Masaya, de la comarca piedra menuda ubicada a en el Km 21 de la carretera a Masaya.

Yolanda es la coordinadora del grupo y a sus 25 años una empresaria exitosa, ella trabaja en la venta de leche y todos sus derivados. Aprendió éste oficio de su madre quien iba a vera cruz (Tipitapa) a distribuir sus productos, Yolanda vio que era un negocio muy fructífero y decidió iniciar su propia clientela en piedra menuda.

Su más grande reto ha sido construir su casa y lo está logrando con la ayuda de su esposo y su negocio. Su crédito lo quiere para adquirir un frízer de segunda mano donde pueda guardar el queso, la cuajada o la leche cuando le queda; ya que cuando esto sucede debe buscar quien le guarde sus productos.

Domingo Rojas trabaja en la compra de llantas que subasta en el mercado mayoreo, Jorge Pérez es uno de los mejores sastres de su comarca. Los tres trabajan duro en sus negocios pero se caracterizan por ser proactivos cuando sus ventas están malas, buscan otros ingresos como: Vender sopa, comida, etc.



Important Information About This Loan
Kiva recently posted a message regarding the “No Pago” movement in Nicaragua (a movement for non-payment of loans). This movement, supported mostly by farmers of the north of Nicaragua with ties to the left-wing party in Nicaragua, has been organizing protests and had submitted a law to the government to create a moratorium on debt repayment. Initially it was unclear whether this law would pass, which would have had severe effects on the banking and microfinance industry in Nicaragua. However in the last month the executive branch rejected the law in its current form. The No Pago movement still exists but seems to have lost some steam. There is still a possibility that a law encouraging more restructuring of loans could pass next year, and microfinance institutions are voluntarily restructuring loans to delinquent borrowers, still increasing risk of lending in Nicaragua. However indications are that the situation is less dramatic than before.
