In addition to the groups APROSADSE supports in the community of El Sauce Xesuyú, APROSADSE supports the group of women called Mujeres en Acción (Women in Action) from the community of Los Pinos Xesuj. These women meet every two weeks to review their income-generating projects and share with each other the challenges they have encountered as well as the positive results they have accomplished.
12 women from this 16-member group received microcredit last September to each start a chicken-raising project. Since then, every one of them has sold between two to three chickens to other community members. The chickens haven’t reached their production period yet, thus they haven’t been able to produce eggs to then sell them.
Before the women in this group received loans there were 11 women participating, but the women passed on the word within the community to motivate more women to join. The members would promote this group as an opportunity to not only receive a microcredit but to participate in trainings focused on themes such as health and nutrition, and to be able to save money. As a result, the group increased their members by 5 more women.
