“I participated in Arbol de Ezperanza [Tree of Hope] program and it has been the best thing that has happened to me and my family. As the name indicates, it gave me hope to continue and get me out of a difficult situation I was in. In their program they made me stand up, tall, like a tree. From there I left with an entrepreneurship to continue with my life. This association and those who collaborate help women who find it difficult to find the necessary help to get out of a difficult situation. Thank you.”
