This gathering is of a “Bank of Hope” near Santiago in the DR. The group consists of 15 associates or loan recipients who receive anywhere from $150 to $500 loans. Some of the women are in their 5th loan cycle - more than two years of gathering together to encourage one another in business and life. These meetings consist of devotions, prayer, worship and sharing of ideas and concerns...oh, and of course, loan payments. The woman standing is the loan officer who leads the bi-weekly meetings.
This group had businesses ranging from selling clothes, spices, laundry supplies, lunch food, and small convenience stands.
