Cooperativa De Todas

In my visit to “Cooperativa De Todas” I did the next interview to Jaqueline Guano Guano:

How this credit have influenced in the development of your personal life?

The credit has no influence in my life because for me it’s just money. It’s the Cooperativa as an organization that give me the opportunity to learn about myself and my own skills that i forgot that i have. They give us the opportunity to change our lives with our effort contributing with our homes and families.

How do you feel being a part of this project?

It’s good to know people that work for helping others like us. Like i said they don’t give us the money they give us the knowledge, the selfsteem and you feel grateful when you look your past and you’re present and you can see the change you made.

Do you think that you can help other people like the Cooperativa help you?

Yes, I don’t know if I can help a lot of a little but I’m going to teach my nieces in my family that they have to surpass themselves and I will teach them how to invest in a business.

Before you meet Cooperativa de Todas, you thought that you can have your own business?

No, I always wanted to have my own business but I never thought that it can happens, my fear first was to lose the money but they give us trainings to do everything correct.

My experience to do this interview to this woman was that we can help the people as an individual person but if we work in group like the partners of the Cooperativa did we can really change people lives. These persons work together just to help the women’s that haven’t issues to start to do something for their own initiative and these are problems that we can’t see like selfsteem and just fear to fail. They teach to these women’s to fight for themselves and the most important thing they teach them to work for their society and always sustain a win to win relation like we discussed in class, we can win more working Cooperative than competitive.
