Carmen is a 59 year old widow. She lives with two of her ten children in Pueblo Joven Santa Rosa in the area around the city of Chiclayo.

She has been selling chicken in the Mercado Modelo, the main market, in the city of Chiclayo for 33 years. In the mornings and the afternoons she sells meat kabobs in the city of Lambayeque. These businesses have supported her family during all of this time. She continues to give the best of herself in order to get ahead.

She buys the meat, chicken and beef, from different distributors who periodically supply her. She offers her products to her customers at a reasonable price, which is why she has known how to keep loyal customers.

Her biggest wish is to be able to devote herself to distributing chicken wholesale. This way she will assure her family of the progress and quality of life they deserve. In her effort to complete this wish, she is asking our institution for a loan for 1,000 PEN. She will use it to expand her business by purchasing more chicken to sell.

Carmen is well liked and held in high esteem by her work colleagues. They consider her to be a responsible and determined woman. They greatly admire her because she has known how to get her family ahead in spite of adversities.

Journal Update for Carmen Sambrano Rimapa
 
Entrepreneur: Carmen Sambrano Rimapa
Location: P.j. Santa Rosa - Chiclayo, Peru

Carmen received a Kiva credit of 1000 Soles that she used to expand her business selling chickens. She works out of the Mercado Modelo in Chiclayo.

With the loan she could buy more raw chicken and now her business has a more varied selection of chicken products; she has even started selling turkey and duck meat. Her cusomters are very happy.

Carmen tells us that the past few months have been difficult for many businesses. Demand is decreasing and the price of products is increasing; but, she is sure that everything will return to normal in November. She has the confidence and the spirit to keep working through the downturn. Carmen is very grateful to the Kiva Lenders because thanks to their loan her business has been able to advance.

Carmen solicitó a Kiva un crédito de 1000 nuevos soles que pensaba utilizar en la ampliación de su negocio de venta de carne de pollo en el mercado modelo de la ciudad de Chiclayo.

Con el dinero recibido de parte del fondo Kiva pudo comprar mas carne de pollo, ahora su negocio se muestra más surtido y sus clientes están más contentos. Por otro lado ha incursionado en la venta de carne de otras aves como pato y pavo.

Carmen nos comenta que estos meses del año son difíciles para todos los negocios en el sentido de que la demanda disminuye y el precio de los productos aumenta, pero que en el mes de noviembre todo regresa a la normalidad lo que le da confianza y ánimo para seguir trabajando. Ella está agradecida con los prestamistas de Kiva porque gracias al préstamo que recibió ha podido sacar su negocio adelante.
