Julia is 38 years old. Her level of education is some high school. She has 4 children, of whom 3 are dependent on her. She is a very dynamic and hard-working woman. She lives in Manuel Arévalo in the district of La Esperanza, the province of Trujillo and the department of La Libertad.

Many years ago, Julia worked selling clothing that she bought wholesale in Lima. Later she had the opportunity to win during several consecutive years the bidding for the concession to sell sweets and juices in a primary school.

Currently Julia has a store in which she sells gifts, toys, writing supplies, etc. She is a member of the community bank "Santa Elena II" , through which she received her first loan of 100 Peruvian sols ($33) with which she bought office supplies to add more variety to her inventory.

With this loan from Manuela Ramos for 800 Peruvian sols ($266), which will be repaid in 6 months, she will buy decorative items and toys to replace the merchandise that was stolen a short time ago and additional products that sell well during the holidays.
