Camilia is a member of the Melcochita Community Bank. Camilia lives with her partner, is 43 years old, and has five children, the youngest of whom are 12 and 7 years old and are attending a state school. Camilia has been weaving for fifteen years in Yauyos, Cañete in the south or Perú. She came to Lima, to her sister-in-law’s house, a year and a half ago. She does weaving handicrafts and makes blankets. She sells her products in Yauyos. Being with Finca is very helpful because she can invest in her business and have more sales. Camilia needs a loan of 1000 soles so that she can buy a handicraft loom and woolen thread in different colors. Camilia’s dream is to grow her business more.
