A loan helped a member to buy dry firewood in bulk.


Grupo Santiago El Campo 2 Group's story

Today there are many women who are determined to get ahead and to have better development opportunities. This is happening thanks to people around the world who take the needs of Guatemalan women into account.

Concepción is one of these women who is fighting along with her family to get ahead. She along with her group were granted a loan 10 months ago, which they were happily able to invest in their businesses that they started from their communities. Concepción wants to increase her sales for this year, and so has approached ADICLA to apply for a loan with her group to invest again in their distinct businesses. Concepción in particular plans to invest in dry firewood in bulk for her customers. They eagerly await this plan and are already grateful for the support they receive from kind-hearted people around the world.

In this group: Concepción , Margarita, Ana María Josefina
