Libaña is 24 years old, single, and lives with her parents and her 5 siblings. She used to work selling food at night from the doorway of her house, but it was not going very well so she decided to change. Six months ago she installed telephone booths in her house to start a phone call center. Libaña works hard to provide good services to her customers and she is pleased to see that her income is growing and that more customers are coming. Once her call center is established, Libaña wants to set up some computers so that she can also offer internet services. This is her fifth loan with MFP and what she enjoys about working with her group is that there is a lot of communication and all of the members are responsible with their payments. With the money that she is requesting now, she will have another booth built for the telephone center, which will cost about 200 PEN. With the rest of the money and her own savings she will buy a motorcycle taxi to start earning money that way.

Libaña tiene 24 años, es soltera y vive con sus padres y sus 5 hermanos. Anteriormente se dedicaba a la venta de comida por las noches en la puerta de su casa, pero no le fue muy bien por lo que prefirió cambiar de actividad económica. Entonces desde hace 6 meses instaló en su casa unos módulos para ofrecer el servicio de llamadas telefónias, el cual es denominado “locutorio”. Libaña se preocupa por dar una buena atención a sus clientes y está muy contenta porque sus ganancias se están incrementando de a pocos y su negocio está siendo visitado por más personas. Una vez consolidado su locutorio, Libaña quiere implementar algunas computadoras para también ofrecer internet. Este es su 5to crédito con MFP y lo que le gusta de trabajar con su grupo es que hay mucha comunicación y todos son personas responsables en sus pagos. Con el dinero que ahora solicita mandará a construir una cabina adicional para su locutorio, lo que le costará aproximadamente 200 soles, con lo restante y aumentando parte de sus ahorros comprará un motocarro para aumentar sus ganancias realizando taxi.
