Amigos Unidos De Juan Velasco Group's story

The Amigos Unidos de Juan Velasco is a group of hard workers and entrepreneurs who have a great desire to succeed in all their proposed projects and goals in order to move forward with their families. With the support provided by the Kiva investors they will achieve this.

The group is made up of 12 members, including María who is 37, single and has two children who are her motivation to continue striving every day. Her business is selling clothing items. She will invest the money in the purchase of jeans, tee shirts and sweatshirts among other items, in order to replenish her stock and offer more variety to her customers. This will allow her to have greater economic earnings.

She and her group are very grateful and further encouraged to keep working. Two members had to leave due to urgent personal matters before the group photo was taken.

In this group: Zueli Betsabet, Milagros Isabel, Lisbel Katerin, Rafael, Maria Esther, Frans Martin, Jorge Luis, Lesly Pamela, Estiwer Eudes, Guina Mary, Juan Carlos, Janeth Shirley
