Mrs. Florencia Mendoza, 49, and her husband, Isidro, 66, live in the city of Carapeguá. They are parents of six children (one daughter and five sons, one of whom passed away). All of their children are studying, one of whom is already working in a commercial house.


Florencia began selling cow milk thirty-five years ago and started this activity as a child learning from her parents. After marrying and becoming independent from her parents, together with her husband, they bought their own milking cows and continued working in this field since she was well-experienced with this activity. With much strength and perseverance, they have progressed and been able to increase their stock of cows in order to produce and sell more milk. Thanks to the profit they have gained, they have been able to construct a commercial salon on their own land. They have been able to rent out the salon to use as an extra source of income.


Her greatest dream is for her children to finish their studies and become professionals in the future. She is asking for a loan to invest in an extension in her house in order to attain a better distribution now that they have acquired more cows.

La señora Florencia tiene 49 años de edad y, su marido el señor Isidro 66, viven en la ciudad de Carapeguá. Son padres de seis hijos, una mujer y cinco varones de los cuales uno ya falleció. Todos sus hijos están estudiando y progresando, uno ya trabaja en una casa comercial.



Florencia se dedica a la venta de leche de vaca, hace ya más de treinta y cinco años, se inició en esta actividad que lo aprendió de sus padres cuando era niña. Después de casarse e independizarse compraron, junto con su marido, las vacas lecheras y continuaron trabajando en lo mismo ya que conocían bien el manejo de este negocio. Con mucho esfuerzo y perseverancia llegaron a progresar, aumentando la cantidad de vacas lecheras, pudiendo así producir y vender más; gracias a las ganancias logró construir un salón comercial en su propio terreno, la cual actualmente alquila y le genera un importante ingreso extra.



Su mayor sueño es lograr que sus hijos culminen sus estudios y lleguen a ser profesionales. Ella solicita el crédito para invertirlo en la ampliación de su casa y lograr una mejor distribución ya que han adquirido últimamente más vacas.
