Dragon Group's story
The "Dragón" group is made up of enterprising, responsible women committed to improving their families' living standards. They live in working class districts where living conditions are not good.
This is the case of Carmen, 43, who is in a common-law relationship and is the mother of three children. She has worked selling food for 12 years. This activity allows her to make an income to pay for her family expenses.
With her loan she will buy meat, vegetables and spices necessary to make the food she sells. Carmen aspires to be able to grow her business to generate more income.
The rest of the group consists of Blanca, Salud, Teresa, Cristell, Romana, María, Sintia and Catalina, women who seek to get on in life alongside their families.
In this group: Blanca Rubi, Salud Del Carmen, Teresa Del Jesus, Cristell Antonia, Carmen, Romana, Maria Luisa, Sintia Del Carmen, Catalina
