A loan helped a member to buy roof sheeting, cement, and sand.


Ayuta 1 Group's story

31-year-old Cristela Armida lives with her two sons aged 8 and 3 for whom she is financially responsible. For three years she has worked as a maid, a job began because of the lack of other opportunities. The job is going very well and allows her to generate an income to pay for financial responsibilities. However, she wishes to make improvements to her home since the roof needs repairing. During the winter season water leaks in and damages her belongings.

Cristela Armida is seeking a loan to buy roof sheeting, cement, and sand. With these purchases she hopes to make repairs to her home and in this way provide her children with a decent home and a better future.

Together with Edwin, Melida and Gloria, Criátela is part of the AYUTA 1 group. They are responsible and enterprising people who seek the same goal of helping their families get ahead.
