Leonor, 30, is a fighter and a very happy woman. She lives in the house that she inherited from her parents. She is determined to work very hard to succeed in life. Leonor sells ice cream. Together with her inseparable cart, she travels the streets of the city of Juliaca looking for people who want to refresh themselves with a delicious ice cream. She is a happy and charismatic salesperson. That is why she always has more customers than her competition.

What she likes most about her work is the freedom she has to run her business and do her household chores. She has been doing this for four years. The most difficult part is walking all day looking for customers. It makes her very tired. In the future she hopes to be able to get enough money together to have an ice cream store.

This is Leonor’s fourth loan with MFP. She expects to be as punctual as she was with her first loans. She is a very responsible and supportive member of her communal bank. She will use the 1,500 PEN she is asking for to buy more ice cream.

Leonor, de 30 años, es una mujer muy alegre y luchadora, vive en la casa que le heredaron sus padres y está dispuesta a trabajar muy duro para sobresalir en la vida. El trabajo de Leonor es la venta de helados, junto a su inseparable carrito recorre las calles de la ciudad de Juliaca en busca de personas que deseen refrescarse con un delicioso helado, ella es una vendedora muy alegre y carismática, por lo cual siempre tiene más clientes que su competencia.
Lo que más le gusta de su trabajo es la libertad que tiende para encargarse de su negocio así como de las tareas del hogar, lleva 4 años realizando esta actividad y considera que lo más difícil es tener que caminar todo el día en busca de clientes, ya que esto la cansa mucho. Para el futuro de su negocio, espera poder juntar el dinero necesario para poner una tienda de helados.

Este es el cuarto préstamo de Leonor con MFP y espera tener la misma puntualidad que tuvo en sus primeros créditos, pues en su banco comunal es una socia muy responsable y solidaria. Con los mil quinientos soles solicitados planea incrementar su capital de trabajo, para así poder comprar más helados.
