After a few years of minimal
operation, Altagracia went to
ADEMI for a loan. She received $80
which she used to purchase clay and glazes. Since then, she has received a
total of eight loans from ADEMI.
Although Altagracia herself doesn't draw a fixed salary, she now has seven
employees working in her business. She says that thanks to the support of
ADEMI, she has been able to climb out of extreme poverty and manage a
growing business, while paying for her children's education.

ceramics business in the Dominican
Republic. She believes that
development, whether personal or
professional, is the result of human
and economic resources. When she
started her business in 1987, she had
only 16 cents in her pocket.
