Mujeres De Dios Group

Leticia is an enterprising woman and a member of the Mujeres de Dios credit group. At this time, she runs a school/office supplies store, and she also sells clothing. These activities represent the main source of support for her home, and her children depend on her income.

Leticia decided to start her business with the goal of achieving financial independence and building a more stable future for her family. With hard work and perseverance, she has consolidated her business, providing school supplies, office supplies, and items of clothing that meet the demand of her community. 

Thanks to joining the lending group, Leticia was able to access the capital necessary to invest in and fortify her business. She expanded her stock and improved her sales capacity. This support allowed her to grow and make long term plans. 

Leticia's biggest dream is to have her own locale where she can better display her products and provide a more comfortable service to her customers. With the present loan, she plans to invest in boxes of reams of paper, office supplies, printer ink, EVA foam molds, double ended paint brushes, folders, and pens, to have essential, high turnover merchandise. 

The group she belongs to is made up of enterprising women who work in different areas. They mutually support each other to get ahead (the man who appears in the photo is also a part of the group).

In this group: Angela Maria Isabel, Cinthia Maria, Viviana Isabel, Zunilda, Elva, Maria Del Carmen Magali, Manuela, Leticia Maria Aurelia, Paola Asuncion, Claudia Carolina, Yila, Fermina, Gisel Noemi, Liz Johanna, Hugo, Lorenza, Maria Elena
