Mrs. Francisca is 48 years old, she is married and has two children. She sells and buys recyclables since more than 15 years ago. Thanks to this job and to the help of her husband she could raise and educate her children, as well as improve her home with basic commodities. Francisca, comments that this job of buying and selling recyclables is very complex because one needs to be a quick assessor; when her neighbors come and sell her the products she needs to value and quote on the spot. Francisca and her husband are hard-working dynamic people. They are early risers, they start their working day very early, because of this they sell their products in the main recycling plants of the city. The previous loans that she got from Fundacion Paraguaya were invested in the purchase of a scale and for the enlargement of the floor in her backyard to store the products. Now, she is asking for a loan so she can buy more recyclables such as irons, plastics, and cartons.

La señora Francisca tiene 48 años, está casada y tiene 2 hijos, se dedica a la actividad de vender y comprar artículos reciclables hace más de 15 años y gracias a éste trabajo y con la ayuda de su marido pudo mantener y educar a sus hijos, como así también pudo dotar las comodidades mínimas a su casa.
Francisca, comenta que éste oficio de comprar y vender éstos artículos es muy complejo ya que uno debe ser un tasador veloz, porque los vecinos de la zona se acercan a su domicilio a ofrecerle los artículos y en el momento debe cotizar y pagar por la compra.
Tanto, Francisca, como su marido, son personas trabajadoras y muy dinámicas, ya que se levantan a muy tempranas horas para iniciar su jornada laboral, debido a que estos productos ellos los venden a las principales fábricas de la ciudad.
Los préstamos que obtuvo anteriormente de la Fundación Paraguaya los ha invertido en la compra de una báscula, y también en la ampliación del piso de su patio para almacenar sus mercaderías. Ahora solicita un préstamo nuevo que lo invertirá en la compra de materiales para reciclar como hierros, plásticos, cartones, etc.
