Flor de Jericó is a communal bank formed by three hardworking people who make an effort every day to make their businesses thrive.
The group is coordinated by Myriam who is 61 years old, married and has a grandson under her care. She sells nacatamales (Nicaraguan tamales), and she has done it for the last 12 years.
She is now requesting her third loan to buy corn, meat, rice, bacon and potatoes with the objective of increasing her product offering. With her previous loan she was able to improve her house.
The second member of the group is Yadira, age 55, who sells fried food and soup, and the other member is Juan, age 43, who has his own carpenter’s workshop and also makes upholstery.
In this group: Myriam Del Socorro , Yadira Maria, Juan Carlos
