Who will invest in the lives of those without enough credit to apply for a loan? Our partner in Mexico is working with women who may have started from few resources but have grown into successful business owners, providing for their family and their community. What begins as a small loan grows into a sustainable way of living for many women in the state of Oaxaca.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Two women, Lul\u00fa and Judith, worked as cashiers in a commercial center in Oaxaca City.\u00a0 When they first received loans from Fuentes Libres, they decided to open a \u201cmiscel\u00e1nea\u201d (a small general store).\u00a0 Their store grew successfully, and now after two years, they have a large store that provides basic goods for the whole neighborhood.\u00a0 They are even planning to open an Internet caf\u00e9 in the near future.\u00a0 They attest that, thanks to the loan from Fuentes Libres, they have not only been able to prosper in their business, but also in their family life.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about this project <a href=\"http:\/\/www.covchurch.org\/relief\/projects\/cd\/mexico-micro-finance\/\">here<\/a>.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When the women capture the vision of the project (empowerment) and are capable of working without an economic dependence on Fuentes Libres, they are able to be an independent community bank.\u00a0 They also transmit the vision of Fuentes Libres to others by encouraging and helping other groups of women to form other community banks.\u00a0 This can be seen in the community banks of the community of Miahuatlan, where women are succeeding; a second bank has opened, and a member of the group is acting as the bank official who reports directly to Fuentes Libres.&#8221; These women are a part of community transformation through the Fuentes Libres project.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/cwr?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=4906&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you start a business from little to no resources?
