Sra. Victoria belongs to the Juan Pablo II ("John Paul II") community bank. She lives in the Peruvian "provincia" of Huaraz. She's an environmental engineer and works for MINSA ("Ministerio de Salud" or the Peruvian Ministry of Health). She has a business making and selling yogurt. She started making yogurt for her family, then for friends and neighbors. They used to tell her that her product was very pleasant and natural. She now fills a weekly order from Lima for 20 litres of yogurt in additional to local orders. With this business, she was able to win a grant to pursue her master's degree, something that she's now doing. She's organized herself so that she can study, work and still find time to make her yogurt.


With a recently-granted loan from Manuela Ramos of S/.1,000 (1,000 Peruvian soles or about US$332), to be repaid in 6 installments, she's purchased supplies of skimmed milk and a thousand cups. Part of the loan will be used to buy 20 litres of milk (twice a week).


At 42 years old, with four children, this lady is following a dream to expand her business and identify new markets, to increase her income and educate her children, the oldest of whom is studying medicine at the University of Trujillo. She, the daughter, is an example for her family and friends. Thanks to her dedication and efforts, she's fulfilling her goals.
