CORCONA CORAZÓN:

This group was formed in May 2005. Since that time, the ten members have received loans that have helped to improve their businesses, with the goal of improving their quality of life.

The group’s treasurer, Grace Rado Alvan, decided four years ago to start selling groceries from her home. She did this with money that her husband gave her. She saved it up to buy two sacks of rice, 1 sack of sugar, 1 case of cooking oil, 1 case of canned food, and 1 package of noodles to start a grocery store. She has had some ups and downs with this business, but Grace’s administrative skills caused her business to grow. Because of this she was able to improve her house, finish educating her children in school, and get her oldest son started in a technical degree program. Grace and her husband decided to invest in a vehicle that they rent out so that they can continue to generate additional income. They were able to do this with loans that they obtained from EDAPROSPO – PROSPERIDAD plus her husband’s income as a driver and the income from the store. Her goal is to continue educating her youngest child, who is four years old. She also wants to build a future for her old age, since she doesn’t have a pension. She needs the loan to continue running and improving her store.

Arsenia Reina Carlos de Orozco is 58 years old and the mother of eight children, 3 of whom are still dependant on her. Her husband’s income as a locksmith wasn’t enough, so she decided to sell cookies, sweets, soft drinks, and sandwiches from a rented kiosk, with the goal of covering expenses for her large family. She also prepared tamales at home on the weekends, which also provided her with some small income. She quit selling for a while due to an illness of her youngest son, who has Down syndrome. She is now selling again but now she sells beer, which has been profitable so far. She wants to invest part of her loan in buying more beer and she’ll use the remainder to buy a display case and glasses, because she wants to eventually open the kiosk again and continue supporting her family.

Libia Orozco Reyna is a street vendor of fruits, soft drinks, fruit drinks, and sandwiches that she prepares at home. She puts her products in a basket and offers them to passers-by and tourists that park for a few minutes at the toll gate in Corcona before continuing their trip through central Peru. She invests part of her earnings in tuition for her oldest son, who is studying heavy equipment maintenance, and the rest in food for her children. She needs the loan to invest in her business.

CORCONA CORAZÓN:

Este grupo se formó en mayo año 2005, durante este tiempo los diez integrantes han recibido créditos que han ayudado a mejorar su negocio con la finalidad de mejorar su calidad de vida.

Es así que la tesorera del grupo Grace Rado Alvan decidió vender hace cuatro años abarrotes en un espacio de su casa, esto lo hizo con el dinero que le daba su esposo lo cual lo estaba ahorrando para comprar dos sacos de arroz, 1 saco de azúcar, 1 caja de aceite, 1 caja de conserva y 1 paquetes de fideos para el comienzo de una tienda de abarrotes. Tuvo algunos altibajos este negocio; pero la administración que supo dar Grace hizo crecer su negocio, resultado de ello pudo mejorar su vivienda, terminar de educar a sus hijos en la escuela, y empezar a darle una carrera técnica a su hijo mayor.
No conforme con ello Grace y su esposo, deciden invertir en un vehículo que actualmente lo alquilan para así seguir generando ganancias adicionales, esto se dio con los préstamos que obtuvo con EDAPROSPO – PROSPERIDAD más los ingresos de su esposo como chofer y los de la tienda. Su propósito es continuar de educar a su último hijo de cuatro años; además forjar un futuro para su vejez, dado que Grace no cuenta con una jubilación; es por ello que necesita el préstamo para seguir implementando más su tienda.


Arsenia Reina Carlos de Orosco tiene 58 años, madre de ocho hijos, 3 aún dependen de ella, al ver que no abastecían los ingresos que le daba su esposo como cerrajero; es que toma la decisión de vender galletas, golosinas, gaseosas, sándwiches en un kiosco que alquiló, a fin de cubrir los gastos de la familia numerosa. Asimismo preparaba en casa tamales los fines de semana; lo que también tuvo pequeñas ganancias Por un tiempo dejó de vender debido a la recaída de su último hijo con síndrome de down, retomando poco tiempo en el negocio pero ahora de cervezas, ventas que hasta momento ha sido rentable.
Necesita el préstamo invertir una parte en cerveza y la diferencia comprar una vitrina y vasos, porque posteriormente quiere volver abrir el kiosco y seguir apoyando a su familia.

Libia Orosco Reyna vende de manera ambulatoria frutas, gaseosas, refrescos, sándwiches que ella misma prepara en casa, sus productos los coloca en una cesta y los ofrece a los pasajeros y turistas que se estacionan por unos minutos en el control (peaje) de Corcona, para continuar luego su camino por el centro del Perú. Las ventas de estos productos lo invierte una parte en la carrera superior a su mayor hijo que estudia mantenimiento de máquinas pesadas y el resto del crédito en la alimentación para sus hijos. El crédito que necesita es para invertir en su negocio.
