Candelaria and Cesar, our first loan recipients, will be receiving a $200 loan in order to purchase sewing materials. Thanks to the generosity of Cathie Gould in Newburyport, we are also able to donate a machine with embroidering capabilities. Once Candelaria and Cesar pay back the loan for sewing materials, the money will be used to provide another microloan for a Guatemalan artisan. The loan will be administrated thorough our partner non-profit, Rising Minds 501(c)(3).
