A loan helped a member to buy ingredients to make chipas (Paraguayan cheese bread) such as starch, cheese, eggs, lard and other ingredients.


Mujeres Victoriosas Group's story

The committee is its 21st cycle, where all the members decided to work together to be able to achieve their goals and have better life conditions and offer their families everything they weren't able to have. In addition, they are part of the poverty elimination program.
One of the members is Elida, she works making and selling chipas, which is a local Paraguayan cheese bread that is enjoyed at all times of year. Her job is modest but has allowed her to help her family and cover their needs.
She indicates that due to the Covid-19 pandemic her sales have been affected, but she doesn't let herself get down and fights to get ahead. She requests this loan to buy ingredients to make chipas such as starch, cheese, eggs, lard and other ingredients.
