Las Estrellas Group's story

Kenia is very pleased with a previous loan, which enabled her to improve her living conditions. She wants to continue to improve them, and so she is requesting a loan to buy cinder blocks, cement, sand and corrugated metal roofing sheets to build a composting toilet. This investment will provide her and her family with a safe home where they can live with dignity. Kenia together with Vanessa and Maria, formerly part of the mutual aid group Guadalupe, make up the " LAS ESTRELLAS" mutual aid group. They are all responsible people with a common goal of getting ahead.

In this group: Kenia Maricela, Vanessa Del Carmen, Maria Haydee Elena
