Rumble: The Road's Kiva project 15: Saldivar Poty

Saldivar Poty group

Here is a summary of The Road's 15th social project:

A micro-financing loan to the Saldivar Poty Women in Paraguay.

Saldivar Poty is a group of 17 well organized and active women in Ita, Paraguay. When one of the members finds herself with problems, the partners stand together and offer support.

All of the members of the group responsibly attend the weekly meetings. The group is built on the enthusiasm and the honesty which they demonstrate for one another.

This is their 7th loan from the local Kiva partner, and never passed their repayment deadline. The activities these women devote themselves to are:

- María Esther Silvero – Selling cleaning products.
- Justina Leiva– Selling food.
- Tomasa Allende González – Selling food.
- Rosalina Bordón Silvero – Selling clothes.
- Gladys Noguera – Selling clothes.
