Each loan recipient group has a different day for a meeting. Last night was the meeting for group 5, and around nine women appeared throughout the evening to exchange contact information and collect money for a cooperative. Before the meeting started, one woman talked passionately about the importance of her work. She indicated that the past few months have been difficult for her business, but she knows that things will improve. “A lot of businesses have fallen here in Montero in the past years. There used to be a lot more. Now, what can the people do? They can have an independent business.” The woman paid part of her loan and left for Santa Cruz to continue working for the day.
