Francisca Leon, 33, is married and mother of two children. Her business includes making cubrecamas, a handcrafted bedspread that is very typical of Carapegua, and also a retailer of cubrecamas. She purchases cubrecamas from artisans in Carapegua and then she travels to Luque by bus in order to resell the cubrecamas to other clients. She travels to Luque every Saturday on a 2 hour bus ride from Carapegua.


Francisca started her business over 20 years ago. Besides acting as a retailer, Francisca's husband also makes on average about 10 cubrecamas per week and he only makes them per order. They works from home on a homemade loom that they have behind their house.


The couple is in need of a loan to purchase thread to complete their orders and also to use as capital to buy cubrecamas from other people to resell.
