A loan helped a member to purchase new equipment and replace materials.


Chama Group's story

Larissa is a manicurist, and she has been doing nails since she was 13 years old. She learned how to do this work from her aunt. She became more and more interested in it and had the opportunity to work at two beauty salons.

Currently, she serves clients in her home.

Her training was in-person, and now she is taking some distance classes. There are always trends and new techniques in this field.

She is seeking this loan in order to purchase new equipment and replace materials.

She dreams of setting up her own space and also sharing her knowledge and experience with others.
