A loan helped a member to buy raw materials.


El Castillo Group's story

Heaven Damaris, 23, is single and has no children. She lives with her mother in her own home.

Heaven sells food from a cart throughout her community. She learned the trade very well and it allows her to earn an income to cover her economic responsibilities. But she wants to strengthen her business and is applying for a loan to buy raw materials to make food and be in a position to offer better products to her customers and increase sales. She dreams of having a decent patrimony and continue her studies to have a better future.

Heaven, together with Jose, Ana, Ruth, Yanira and Dora, form the El Castillo Group. They are responsible people who strive to reach a common goal: to get ahead in life.

In this group: Ana Ruth, Dora Alicia, Ruth Nohemy, Heaven Damaris, Rosa Vilma, Jose Eduardo, Yanira Elizabeth
