Juliana married Juan Carlos aged 24: he is 37 years old and is a public transport driver.


Juliana, when she was very young, began working in the family business, then she suggested studying a trade in order to begin working independently. It was in this way she undertook various courses including: hairdressing, manicure and pedicure treatments and artistic decoration, but it was artesenal embroidery that she liked the best, and so today she spends her time on this work.


Little by little she attracted customers by making promotional offers among family and friends: this is how today she sends blouses embroidered in aó po´í (traditional Paraguayan weaving technique) to different parts of the country and even exports them to Argentina (Paraguay’s neighbouring country).


The loan she is asking for will be used to buy fabric and threads used in the making of her blouses, as there is a lot of demand.

Juliana se casó a los 24 años con Juan Carlos que tiene 37 años, el mismo es chofer de transporte público.


Juliana desde muy joven empezó trabajando en un negocio familiar, luego se propuso estudiar una profesión para lograr trabajar en forma independiente. Fue así como realizó varios estudios como: peluquería, manicura y pedicuro, decoración artística, pero fue el bordado artesanal el que más le gustó por lo que hoy día se dedica a dicha profesión.


Poco a poco iba ganando clientes realizando promociones entre familiares y vecinos, es así que hoy día envía camisas bordadas en aó po´í (tejido tradicional del Paraguay) a diferentes puntos del país y hasta los exporta a la Argentina (país limítrofe del Paraguay).


El crédito que está solicitando lo destinará a la compra de telas e hilos empleados en sus confecciones de camisas debido a que tiene mucha demanda.
