In our visit to Cooperativa De Todas, we interview the partner, Marcia Espinoza, who lives and have her bussiness in Cooperativa 3 De Noviembre, Guasmo Central.
We asked Marcia a few questions related with the work of De Todas and the partners, between those questions we asked her about the facilities that the institution gives to the partners for their personal, family and economic development, and she explained us that the Cooperativa gives them all the posible facilities, including conferences and curses to learn about rentability and how to maintain a bussiness, in her case, one of sheets and towels.
She also told us that if a member of the group doesnt pay the credit, it affects all the members, because they wont receive any credit if one of them doesnt pay, they all depend from eachother. Marcia and her friends feel motivated to pay beacuse they want to maintain their credit and keep it growing to save it and to invest it in the education of their children, food, etc.
For her, the most important change, involve her family and the confort that they feel since she became a member of Cooperativa De Todas.
We also asked her if they can open more than one bussiness at a time, and she explained us that they definetly can do it! It doesnt matter if the bussiness is going well or not so well, the can invest their money in different things.
As we noticed, Marcia Espinoza feels gratitude towards Cooperativa De Todas, because she feels that she has learned a lot and that the institution had help her and her partners.

gabyy! its nice too see how that people overcome right? and how the cooperative detodas motivated them to get ahead! what did you learn with this experience?
ResponderEliminarGood job gaby
ResponderEliminarYour questions were very interesting!
ResponderEliminarWhat i had learn with this experience is that we dont have to underestimate others with less resources, not just because someone didnt go to school or highschool it means that he or she doesnt want to overcome themselves.
ResponderEliminarThe majority of times governments or private institutions dont care about them, but when they or ongs do care, like Cooperativa De Todas, people notice that they are important and matters to society, so they give their best to develop their families and themselves.
So if we have the opportunity to give a hand we should do it, not for us but for them.
