A loan helped a member to buy flour, yeast, sugar and wood to make bread.


Grupo Paculam Las Solteras Group's story

Petrona is single with a beautiful family with a three year old daughter. She and her daughter live in the village of Paculam.

Petrona (the first on the left in the photo) is a friendly, hard-working, responsible and disciplined woman. She works making bread, a traditional bread of the region. She has been doing this business for more than 5 years and she does it in her community at her house which allows her to better care for her house and her daughter. Petrona with her years of experience making bread has many people who frequently request her products. So her stock runs out.

For this reason she is requesting a loan to buy products like flour, yeast, sugar and wood. With this material Petrona hopes to make more bread to sell and better satisfy the needs of her customers.

Her big dream is to construct a house of cinder blocks, but she also hopes to build a new oven to prepare her bread in it.
