The first of its kind Microborrowers Conference was held in Panajachel, Guatemala near Lake Atitlan and it was a roaring success! Just under 100 NamasteDirect borrowers were invited to participate in the conference. In spite of what we assumed would be tremendous obstacles, the women arrived excited and ready to learn. For almost all, this was the very first time away from home, chores, and children. The borrowers stayed in the Grand Hotel and enjoyed meeting new people, sharing experiences, and learning vital tips on improving their businesses.
