The loan group “Agua de la Vida III” is beginning its sixth cycle in Pro Mujer, as part of the Centro Focal Los Andes. It is comprised of eight members, and led by a board of directors, with Margarita serving as its president.
The loan will benefit small businesses, including Margarita’s. She currently has a business selling blankets. She learned this business on her own several years ago.
The current loan will be used to buy wool at wholesale from wholesalers in La Paz, and to make blankets and sell them out of her sales space. This work will allow her to generate income to support her family, since she is married with eight children.
Note: Nine members appear in the photo, because Juana came with her brother and he is in the photo.
In this group: Margarita, Anahi Luz , Gaby Luz, Shirley Ana , Giovana , Moises Gregorio , Juana*, Emma
