A loan helped a member to buy used clothing to sell.


Vidalina Palacios Group's story

The Vidalina Palacios committee began thanks to the initiative of one of the group members who motivates the others to work together and give a better future to their families. They are also in the property elimination program, through which they want to get and ahead and overcome their situation of poverty.

Emilce Soledad is a one of the members who makes a living selling used clothing. She notes that with her husband she fights to be able to give their children everything that they could not have. She wants to improve her entrepreneurship, so she decided to join the committee since she knows that the training the Paraguayan foundation offers will allow her to achieve that.

Emilce is seeking this loan to buy a wider variety of clothing to stock her business and continue her sales.
