Alegria Group

The "Alegría" [Happiness] group is made up of enterprising, responsible women committed to improving the quality of life of their families. They live in working-class neighbourhoods where living conditions are average.

For example, Virginia continues to sell food, which allows her to generate income to help with her family's expenses. With her previous loan, she bought meat, vegetables, and spices needed to prepare the food she sells. Virginia continues working to buy an industrial oven.

The rest of the group consists of Angelica, Maricela, Lizbeth, Mercedes, Jasskari, and Emilia; women who, together with their families, are working hard to get ahead.

In this group: Angelica, Virginia Aurora, Maricela, Lizbeth, Mercedes, Jasskari Concepcion, Emilia
