Lidia Lezcano is single and lives with her parents. She is a pharmacist and helps her parents with the income and expenses of the household.

Lidia worked for 3 years in one of the well-known pharmacy chains in the city. With the experience she gained and with her knowledge of the working of the most important products, she decided to become independent and open her own pharmacy.

The name of her pharmacy is "Poha Renda" (which means "Medicine Place" in Guaraní, one of the two official languages in Paraguay). It is located in one of the main streets of the city. She decided to open her business there because there are no other pharmacies in the neighborhood and it is close to the local health clinic.

Her initial loan from Fundación Paraguaya was invested in the purchase of medicines for her pharmacy. Her business grew little by little and now, she would like to request a new loan to invest in the purchase of cosmetics, perfumes, and body creams. This way she can continue to broaden her sales network and diversify her products.

Original loan description in Spanish:




Lidia Lezcano es soltera y vive con sus padres; ella es farmacéutica y ayuda a sus padres con los ingresos y gastos de la casa.

Lidia trabajó durante 3 años en una de las cadenas de farmacias importantes de la ciudad; Teniendo en cuenta su experiencia y su conocimiento sobre los principales productos y sus representantes decidió independizarse y abrir su propia farmacia.

El nombre de la farmacia es ''Poha Renda'' (que significa “Lugar de los remedios” en el idioma guaraní, uno de los dos idiomas oficiales de Paraguay) la misma está ubicada sobre una de las avenidas principales de la cuidad; comenta que decidió habilitar su local en esa zona porque no existen otras farmacias en la zona y se encuentra en las cercanías del Centro de Salud Local.

Sus primeros créditos obtenidos de la Fundación Paraguaya los invirtió en la compra de medicamentos para la venta en su farmacia, poco a poco fue expandiéndose y hoy día desea solicitar un nuevo crédito para invertirlo en la compra de cosméticos, perfumes y cremas corporales así de esta forma poder seguir ampliando su red de ventas y diversificar sus productos.
