Divina Misericordia Group

Romi is a member of the loan group Divina Misericordia [Divine Mercy], and she works selling sweets both from her home as well as as a street vendor.

This business allows her to cover household expenses and bring her child ahead, providing him with necessities.

Her interest in cuisine began quite a while ago when her family began a business selling savory foods, which awoke in her the wish to continue this tradition and begin her own business.

Thanks to the previous loans obtained in earlier cycles, Romi was able to make greater investments in her business, which allowed her to expand her product offerings and generate more income.

This was key in her being able to approach economic stability each time, with the goal of offering her child a dignified life and a better future.

Romi's big dream is to have her own space where she could consolidate her business and offer her products in a comfortable and consistent manner.

For her, this is a critical step to achieve sustainable growth and reach financial independence that she longs for so much.

With the current loan, she plans to invest in dulce de leche [caramel], flour, sugar, sweet guava, and eggs for making her products.

Other members of the group work in the sales of cleaning products, fruits, clothing, and footwear, and some have a pharmacy, barber shop, and other businesses.

In this group: Edith Martina, Amalia Benigna, Gloria Francisca, Karen Dahiana, Analia, Miriam Beatriz, Rosa Carina, Romi Ester, Lidia, Marina, Liliana Soledad, Maria Asuncion, Susan Guadalupe, Adriana Rosemary, Clara Noemi, Dahiana, Teresa Analia, Karen
