Oscar's sewing business
 
Entrepreneur: Flor De Canela De Jovenes Group
Location: La Paz / El Alto, Bolivia

Oscar, president of the Flor de Canela de Jóvenes Group, continues working in his sewing business. Currently he works with his cousins in a business run by his aunt. He invested his Kiva loan in cloth, but he would like to take out a larger loan in the future in order to buy an automatic sewing machine.
