Charito belongs to the "El Triunfo" communal bank and lives on Ucayali Street in the District of San Hilarión, San Martín Province, in the state of San Martín. She is married, 28 years old and has one son that is dependent on her.

For many years Charito has been selling firewood. She says that in the beginning her sales were low, but with time her friends and family helped her to increase her sales. She started with 300 Nuevos Soles loan and little by little saved; currently, she supplements her business by selling ice pops and chicha (alcoholic beverage) from her house, in an well air-conditioned area.

One of her dreams is to set up a large store selling groceries in order to generate more income and to provide more economic support to her household.

With this loan of 3,000 Nuevos Soles she will by 200 tercios(unit of measure) of firewood. Part of the money will also be invested in ingredients to prepare her ice pops and chicha, such as sugar, syrups and fruit.

Nowadays she feels like a very accomplished woman, with desire to reach and make real her dreams. She is thankful to the Manuela Ramos organization for helping her start her business as well as many other women that want to grow entrepreneurially.

Charito, pertenece al Banco Comunal “El Triunfo”, vive en el Jr. Ucayali S/N°, Distrito de San Hilarión, Provincia San Martin, Departamento de San Martín. Es casada, tiene 28 años y 01 hijo que aun depende de ella.

Desde hace muchos años, Charito se dedica a la venta de leña, en sus inicios nos cuenta que le fue un poco bajo en sus ventas, pero con el tiempo ya que sus amigos, vecinos y familiares conocían su negocio, sus ventas aumentaron. Se inicio con S/. 300.00 y poco a poco fue ahorrando, en la actualidad complementó su negocio con la venta de chupetes y chichas, ubicada en su misma casa, con una área bien acondicionada.

Uno de sus sueños y metas por lograr, es implementar una bodega grande con sus productos de abarrotes, para generar más sus ingresos y aportar económicamente dentro de su hogar.

Con este préstamo de S/ 3,000.00, comprara 200 tercios de leña. Parte del dinero también lo invertirá en insumos para preparar sus chupetes y chichas como: azúcar, esencias y frutas.

Hoy en día se siente una mujer muy realizada, con más ganas de alcanzar y hacer realidad sus sueños. Agradece a Manuela Ramos por ayudarla a iniciar su negocio a ella y a muchas mujeres que quieren crecer empresarialmente.
