Luz Group

Maria Marisol, still in charge of the group, is the third one on the left in the photograph. She continues to sell vegetables on the street in her neighborhood and cleans private homes in the capital city. Her children are growing up, and she tirelessly struggles to raise them as a single mother. They enjoy good health.

She needs to buy more vegetables, but her money isn't enough because she used her savings to buy school supplies for her first child, who is already in school. Therefore, she is requesting another loan, and her companions, who sell silver and costume jewelry, traditional clothing, baby clothes, baskets, and other everyday items, are joining her in this request.

In this group: Maria Liseth, Maria Marisol, Marta, Maria Esperanza, Maria De Los Angeles, Marcelina, Ingrid Celeste, Rafaela, Regina
