Carmen is a member of the Community Bank "El Grupo Real".



Carmen is married, she is 48 years old and has 3 grown children, aged 25, 22, and 17. They are all working and going to school.



Carmen used to run a Buffet restaurant from her home with the help of her daughters for the local schools, but it didn't go very well so she decided to change her business. She started selling breakfast foods in the streets for many months until she decided to sell the same foods from her home. She bought three small tables and now she sells breakfast and lunch foods every day.



Since Carmen has started with Finca (Kiva Field Partner) she has learned the value of money, she learned to save, and she is always on time with her payments.



Carmen requires a loan of 800 soles to purchase cold cuts and coffee.



Carmen's dream is to own a restaurant selling traditional criolla foods.
