Costa San Antonio Group's story
Costa San Antonio is a committee made up of entrepreneurial women who started their participation in the Fundación Paraguaya program with the objective of overcoming and improving the quality of life of their families. Currently, they are on cycle number 32 and are known for their unity, strength, and commitment, working in distinct commercial sectors of products.
Miguelina makes her living in dressmaking and sewing. She makes sweatshirts, jackets, and t-shirts, in addition to mending clothing. She started this job when she was very young and in time has been able to become independent, starting her own store in her home. In this opportunity, she is using the loan to strengthen her business, increase her production, and continue growing along with her family.
