Opening up possibilities for five new micro-businesses
        Following recent authorization granted by the State DIF system, five new micro-businesses will soon begin operations in the city, through an investment of nearly $75,000 pesos.
Municipal DIF President, Minerva Ramirez de Renteria, presented the economic support to families in various neighborhoods of the city.  With these funds, recipients will be able to begin their own businesses and contribute to the local economy.
The support included the equipping of an economic kitchen, sewing workshop, beauty salon, a piñata making workshop, and a hot dog stand. Support is being provided under a credit scheme that recipients must repay within a period no greater than 24 months, and with a three month grace period.
In an act held at the facilities of the offices of Integral Family Development (DIF), those benefiting from the support included Elizabeth Acedo Garcia, Veronica Micaela Lopez Blanco, Judith Elizabeth Vega Montez, Maria Laura Valdovinos Arreguin and Mr. Manuel de Jesus Urbina Narcia.
Filled with the emotion of now being able to open their own business, Mrs. Maria Laura Valdovinos Arreguin spoke on behalf of the entrepreneurs and expressed gratitude to the head of the Municipal DIF.  She reiterated her commitment to comply with the credit payments that provided for the acquisition of this equipment.
Ramirez de Renteria underscored the importance of consolidating these types of actions, thereby providing families with necessary tools for further advancement.
She committed timely follow-up for the new micro-businesses, as well as continued steps for the authorization of more productive projects for Puerto Peñasco.
The DIF President expressed her congratulations and acknowledgement for the entrepreneurs and stated her belief that here in Puerto Peñasco the efforts of both women and men are needed to get ahead.
Norma Agundez Serna, DIF Director, accompanied the DIF President along with Nereida Olivas Reyes, Coordinator of Community Programs.
