Lita is 43 years old, married, and has three children with whom she lives in the home that she and her spouse built with much effort. For 20 years, she has specialized in tailoring and worked in different workshops and factories, where she did manual work. However, she realized that she could do the same work in her own home. She contracted with some factories that give her merchandise every 15 days. She adds the embellishments on handbags, which are very patiently embroidered and sewn, given that the designs are quite varied. But Lita plans to establish a tailoring workshop, work with her own designs, and sell them in the central markets in the capital. In those markets there is higher demand, equal to the demands of the people. Because of that, she works arduously to set up her own workshop. This is her sixth loan with MFF, and with the 3000 soles she requests, she will buy the machinery necessary to produce her own designs.

Lita tiene 43 años, está casada y tiene 3 hijos, con quienes vive en la casa que construyó con su pareja a base de mucho esfuerzo. Hace veinte años se especializó en la labor de costurera y trabajó en diversos talleres y fábricas especializadas, donde realizaba trabajos manuales. Sin embargo, se pudo dar cuenta que los mismos trabajos los podía realizar dentro de su hogar e hizo contratos con algunas fábricas quienes le dan mercadería cada quince días para que realice los acabados de carteras, las cuales son bordadas y cosidas con mucha paciencia, pues los diseños son muy variados. Pero Lita tiene proyectado instalar un taller de costura y realizar trabajos con diseños propios y venderlos en los mercados centrales de la capital donde la demanda es mayor, al igual que las exigencias de las personas, por ello que trata de trabajar arduamente para ir implementando su propio taller. Este es su sexto préstamo con MFF y con los 3000 soles que solicita comprará la maquinaria necesaria para la producción de sus propios diseños.
