A loan helped a member to buy t-shirts, dresses, pants, and flip-flops for her store.


Celestial Group's story

Reinilda, second from the right in the photo, is a very happy and determined woman.
She lives with her husband and their three daughters. She was born in Bahia and came to São Paulo to work at age twenty. When she moved, she was a domestic worker, but later she started selling clothing door-to-door. She has made a living from her business and, thanks to her effort, she opened a clothing store fifteen years ago.
The loan has impacted her business very positively, because she was able to buy her merchandise in cash and thus get a good discount and quality products to earn loyal customers.
She will invest in buying t-shirts, dresses, pants, and flip-flops for her store.
The group would like to thank the investors for this opportunity.
