Irma Esther Asin Diaz

Thank you for your loan. It has been disbursed to Irma Esther Asin Diaz by Manuela Ramos / CrediMUJER in Peru. We are excited to watch this business grow. Over the 5 months of this loan, Manuela Ramos / CrediMUJER will be collecting repayments from this entrepreneur and posting progress updates on the Kiva website.

Irma is a 25-year-old single mother. She works as a primary school teacher in the town of Masisea, located along the shores of the Ucayali River, which eventually connects with the Amazon in the North. To supplement her teaching income Irma sells beauty products, undergarments and basic grocery products.

Irma used her most recent loan of 2,500 soles to purchase fabric and sewing sewing materials to make undergarments as well as basic groceries to sell. She says that her dreams are for her daughter to grow up to become a professional and to one day own a store from which she could sell her beauty products.

Irma said that with her last loan she had a problem making one payment. She explained that because she spends much of her time in Masisea, she had to send the money to her sister to make the payment. Due to complications, her sister did not make the payment on time, but Irma says they have since figured out a better system of making the payments promptly.

Irma is pictured here outside of her communal bank meeting.
