A loan helped a member to buy a mixer and an electric oven.


Salmo 93 I Group's story

Zinaelsa, the first one in the photograph from left to right, is a strong and determined woman. At 68 years old, she is the mother of two daughters, and also a grandmother. She has lived at the same address for over two decades.

She has always been enterprising, adapting and reinventing herself over the years. She was recently widowed, and found comfort and companionship in the presence of one of her granddaughters who is now living with her.

Currently, she devotes her days to making truffles, Brazilian honey cakes, cakes, and tarts, which she then sells door-to-door. With the help of the loan, she plans to invest in a mixer and an electric oven which will increase her production capacity.

The group thanks the investors for the opportunity.
