La Calzada Group

The La Calzada group is made up of enterprising, responsible women who are committed to improving their families' quality of life. They live in working-class neighborhoods where living conditions are normal.

Such is the case of Elizabeth who continues her work selling shoes for all the family. This job allows her to generate income in order to help with the household expenses.

With her prior loan she bought seasonal shoes in order to continue her sales. Elizabeth continues working to make her business grow, and to be able to set it up in an actual store.

The other members of the group are Rosario, Gabriela, Romelia, Reveca and Martha. They are women who strive alongside their families to get ahead. 

In this group: Elizabeth, Maria Del Rosario, Gabriela, Romelia, Reveca, Martha Paola
