Maximina Cruz Mantilla is 62 years old and lives in the Usquil district of Otuzco Province, La Libertad, Peru. She is divorced and is a member of the Cachanchugo II Communal Bank. She stayed in school only until grade 6 because at a young age she began working in the fields. She became pregnant at age 17 and had a daughter who no longer lives with her.


Because of family problems, Maximina left her home town with her young children, and since then has lived in Cachanchugo. She is separated from her second marriage. In spite of the pain and sadness of her family situation, she persevered, along with her children. When she arrived in Cachanchugo, she worked as a contract agricultural laborer. She began with planting, and later began caring for guinea pigs as well. Little by little, she was able to raise her five children who now are independent and give her economic and moral support.


Maximina now works planting corn in nearby farms but, because of health problems, she has recently not been able to work. With her first loan of 300 soles, Maximina bought guinea pigs and started into the business of raising them. With this loan of 400 soles ($150), she will till and fertilize her land for a new crop of lentils and corn. Maximina anxiously awaits the harvest, which will be within six months, because with her earnings she will be able to save some money.
