Perikitas Ii Group's story

The Perikitas II Committee is made up of entrepreneurial women from the Santa Rosa neighborhood in the city of Lambaré. They apply for this loan to invest in their respective businesses, strengthening their income and economic autonomy.

Among them is Sonia Carolina, who actively participates in the group.

Sonia sells clothing from her home and says that some committee members are part of her clientele, which allows her to generate regular income based on sales volume.

Additionally, Sonia uses the loan to invest in the purchase of merchandise for grocery sales, including products such as bread, oil, milk, sugar, and eggs, thus expanding her commercial offering and diversifying her sources of income.

She says the committee helps her progress individually, providing her with access to capital to strengthen her business and improve her quality of life.

In this group: Sonia Carolina, Lorena, Angelica Concepcion, Hilaria Lorena, Sannie Caacupe, Elizabeth Petrona, Marcelina, Marta Carolina, Ana, Viviana Soledad, Myriam Celeste, Mirian Beatriz, Maria Mariela, Andrea Paulina, Antonina, Leticia Paola, Leticia, Sofia Montserrat
