Emprendedoras Arroyenses Group

Gisselle is a young entrepreneur and member of the Arroyo Women Entrepreneurs credit group. She currently sells grilled meats and clothing from her own shop, combining two activities that allow her to generate a steady income. She was inspired by her father, who supported the family by selling food, and decided to follow his example to forge her own path.

Thanks to joining the group, she was able to access the necessary capital to invest in her business, expand her inventory, and achieve greater financial independence. Today, she not only supports herself but is also able to help her parents, becoming a pillar of support for her family.

Gisselle dreams of building her own home; she is currently paying for a plot of land with the profits from her business. To continue moving toward that goal, she plans to use her current loan to invest in jeans, shorts, shirts, bermuda shorts, t-shirts, and blouses, among other merchandise, in order to restock and diversify her business. The group she belongs to is made up of women entrepreneurs who sell food, fruits, vegetables, and clothing, supporting each other to grow and improve their quality of life.
