The Savings and Credit Cooperative of Pijal – CACPIC – was born with the union of 15 families and the cooperation of the Church of Plano with an initial contribution of $5,000. Currently, it has a capital of $15,000 dollars that the organization has achieved by working together and with scheduled monthly savings. Now the technical team of FEDICE is training the people of the savings and credit cooperative in a new accounting system that will allow them to manage their resources properly and obtain account balances immediately.
CACPIC was formed as a financial alternative so that families in Pijal can have access to immediate credit to finance their productive activities.
In addition to the credit union, FEDICE has also had many other projects in the Pijal area, many of which were sponsored or completed by groups in the United States. For example, the Christian Church of Plano, led by Doug Deuel, funded and completed the construction of a new children's center and playground. This church also funded the construction and furnishing of a home for a single mother and her 4 children, who used to live under the steps of a house. FEDICE has also trained them in cooking, nutrition, personal hygiene, and cleanliness. This family now has the opportunity to succeed and live with dignity. In addition, the Plano church has worked at the New Jerusalem Church and another home for a grandmother who is caring for her 4 grandchildren after the death of their parents.
