Graciela is an active, hardworking, woman of 49. She is also the mother of eight children, only one of which is a minor. Graciela has a kiosk in Pucallpa’s port where she sells products to meet basic needs. Her main clients are travelers. Graciela’s husband, a farmer, helps her with her work. He has fields planted with grains like corn, rice, and beans.

Graciela has been a member of the communal bank “Las Triunfadoras de Marko Jara” for a year and a half. She started with a loan of 500 soles that she invested in sodas and sweets. Graciela plans to invest part of this loan (of 1000 soles) in the purchase of general groceries items and also in the construction of another kiosk. Graciela’s goal is to have a well-stocked store and to continue to support her family.
