Cristina is a memeber of the Niño Divino community bank. Cristina is 36, and she has a common law husband. She has two children, 11 and 4, who attend the state school.

Cristina has worked cleaning houses. Later, for eight years she worked with another lady selling food on the Pista Nueva (a street). They also sold used clothes in the area. She learned about the business, and she decided to use her savings to become independent. She started selling used clothes.

Cristina needs a loan of 1200 PEN to buy merchandise like decorations for Mother’s Day, artificial flowers, and other items.

Since she has been with Finca, which has been very supportive, she has savings. The talks she has attended have been helpful for her business.

Cristina’s dream is to have her own business of selling clothes.
