Paraguay
In Encarnación, in southern Paraguay, 15 women have joined together to form the 'Empoderamiento' group. They are longtime neighbours who know one another well and have united with a shared commitment to strengthening their economic activities. Through mutual support and collaboration, they work to grow their businesses, increase their income, and improve their families’ living conditions.
One of the members of Empoderamiento is Doris, who earns her income by providing hairdressing services. She is pictured at the centre of the photo, wearing a maroon shirt with white details. Doris runs her salon from her home and has built a loyal customer base over the years.
With this loan, she plans to invest in essential supplies and equipment—such as hair ties, straighteners, a hair dryer, and hair care products—to enhance the quality of her services and increase her income. Her goal is to continue strengthening her business and improving her family’s well‑being.
