A loan helped a member to purchase supplies for the preparation and sale of food.


Palenque Group's story

The "Palenque" group is made up of enterprising, responsible women committed to improving the quality of life of their families. They live in popular neighborhoods where living conditions sometimes might become harsh, somehow.

The member of the group - Lucia, Andrea, Susana, Antonieta and Luisa – are women who, together with their families, struggle to get ahead.
One member, Antonieta, continues working in the preparation and sale of food; this activity has allowed her to generate income to be able to support herself and contribute to her household expenses.

With the previous loan she bought all the necessary supplies for the preparation of food. Antonieta continues to work towards fulfilling her dream of opening a well-equipped kitchen to offer higher quality food.

In this group: Maria Lucia, Andrea, Susana Beatriz, Maria Antonieta, Maria Luisa
