Las Chicas Buenas Group's story

The group ‘Las chicas buenas’ is made up of enterprising women, responsible and committed to improving the quality of life of their families. They live in working class neighbourhoods where living conditions are average.

This is the case with Niemi who is 48 years old and has 3 school-age children. She has been baking bread and cakes for 13 years, an activity that has allowed her to generate income to support her family's expenses.

She bought the ingredients for baking bread, such as flour, yeast, and eggs with a previous loan. Niemi aspires to grow her bakery so that she can employ other women.

The rest of the group is made up of: Judith, Karina, Delmy and Zaydi, women who, together with their families, are looking to get ahead.

In this group: Judith Maribel, Karina Noemi, Niemi Miralva, Delmy Isabel, Zaydi Noemi
