Emiliano Zapata Group's story

The group “Emiliano Zapata” consists of enterprising women who balance managing their businesses with taking care of their families. They live in working-class neighborhoods that have regular living conditions.

Such is the case with Sra. Damaris. She is 33 years old, married, and continues to operate a food business selling hamburgers from a stall that is located at her house. Damaris works every day and says that she enjoys what she does because she is able to help with the household finances.

With her previous loan, she was able to acquire new utensils for preparing food. She dreams of opening an eatery with a well-equipped kitchen.

The women in the group are Adela, Alejandra, Jesús, Andrea, Celia, and Bertha. These women entrepreneurs have goals to move forward with their businesses.

In this group: Alejandra Maryeli, Adela, Bertha, Celia, Andrea, Jesus Del Carmen, Damaris Fabiola
