Irma, 34 years-old, is a hard-working and happy woman who lives in a rented room and is ready to work hard to get ahead.

Irma has a stand located in San José market (an important market in the city of Juliaca) where she sells toy cars for children. She is very happy with her business as it is very profitable and she has a lot of customers who are attracted by the original designs of her cars. What she likes the most about her job is conversing with her neighbor vendors at the market. She has been in this business for 8 years and for her the hardest part is bringing the toys from the city of Tacna (southern Peru), as the journey is long and tiring, and causes a lot of lost time in obtaining the merchandise.

In the future, Irma hopes to establish a larger store where she can sell many more cars more comfortably.

This is Irma's first loan with MFP, but she knows she must pay on time and be ready to pay it back. In her communal bank she is very responsible and makes sure the other members adhere to their commitments. With the 1000 soles from this loan Irma will buy more toy cars to improve her business.

Irma, de 34 años, es una mujer muy trabajadora y alegre, vive en una habitación alquilada y está dispuesta a trabajar muy duro para salir adelante.

El puesto de coches para niños de Irma está ubicado en el mercado San José (mercado importante de la ciudad de Juliaca), ella se siente muy feliz con su negocio, ya que le es muy rentable y tiene muchos clientes, quienes la buscan por los modelos novedosos que tienen sus coches.
Lo que más le gusta de su trabajo es conversar con sus vecinas de venta, lleva realizando esta actividad 8 años y considera que lo más difícil es traer los juguetes desde la ciudad de Tacna (al sur del Perú), ya que el viaje es muy largo y cansado, causando que pierda mucho tiempo en conseguir su mercadería.
Para el futuro, espera instalar una tienda más grande donde pueda vender muchos más coches con más tranquilidad.

Este es el primer préstamo de Irma con MFP, sabe que tiene que pagarlo a tiempo y está dispuesta a hacerlo. En su banco comunal es muy responsable, siempre está pendiente de que se cumplan los acuerdos a los que llegan entre socias. Con los mil soles solicitados comprará más coches para implementar mejor su puesto de venta. ¿Qué es lo que comprará con este dinero?
