A loan helped a member to buy and sell fruits and vegetables.


Luz Group's story

Maria Marisol is the leader of this group. She is a single mother.

She has worked selling vegetables and fruits for a number of years. She is the first from the right in the photograph.

Her dream is to continue striving in her business, to sell well every day, and to have good earnings in order to build a house and move her son forward. Maria wants him to attend school and learn a lot in order to have better opportunities in life.

Maria seeks a loan to buy a variety of fruits and vegetables. The other group members sell baskets, have a tortilla business, and sell firewood by the piece. They are united by the same need.

In this group: Maria Trinidad, Maria Liseth, Marcelina, Maria Marisol, Rosa
