Maritza is 41 years old, married, and has two children. Her family lives in the home she inherited from her parents. Her desire to succeed motivated her to work in several different places throughout the city. At the moment, she manages two automobiles – one to use for public transportation and the other for her own personal use. Maritza and her partner share the responsibilities of running their business in hopes that they will both reap the benefits. However, their transportation service was not complete until they acquired some motorcars, which are operated by their children. In addition to managing her business, Maritza also works as a cook at a convent in the mornings, a job that helps to supplement her income.


One of Maritza’s greatest wishes is to augment her transportation business by purchasing another automobile, since repairs and lost revenues due to mechanical failures have hurt her family income. She is requesting her sixth loan from Microfinanzas PRISMA and hopes that the additional support will improve her financial condition. The attitudes she developed working with her Communal Bank have helped her cope with her situation. Her loan of 3000 soles will be used to perform maintenance on the vehicles in need of repairs.

Maritza es una mujer de 41 años, vive con su esposo y sus dos hijos en la casa de sus padres, ya que recibió como herencia una parte de la casa donde habita con su familia. Sus deseos de superación la motivaron a trabajar en diversos lugares de la ciudad y en la actualidad esta dedicada a la administración de dos carros que posee conformando así una línea de transporte y del que es socia. Junto a su pareja tratan de ser miembros activos para recibir los beneficios que otorga la empresa. Pero para completar sus servicios de movilidad adquirió unos motocarros, con las cuales trabajan sus hijos. Sumado a esta gran labor Maritza brinda servicios de cocinera en un convento durante la mañana, actividad que la ayuda a mejorar sus ingresos económicos. Uno de sus más ansiados deseos de Maritza es consolidar la empresa de transporte con su pareja e invertir en la compra de un carro adicional ya que las reparaciones o fallas mecánicas perjudican la economía de su hogar por ello requiere de un ingreso adicional dentro del rubro de trasporte. Este es su sexto préstamo en Microfinanzas PRISMA y espera que le apoyemos para que pueda mejorar sus condiciones económicas y a desarrollar actitudes dentro del grupo de trabajo que conforma en su banco comunal. Los 3000 soles de crédito le permitirán realizar el mantenimiento de sus vehículos los cuales requieren de reparaciones.
