Lilia belongs to the Las Activas community bank. She lives in the Peruvian "departamento" of Ucayali. She's 49 years old and the mother of 8 children. Her husband is a teamster (cargo handler) but his earnings don't cover the family's expenses so Lilia, with her first loan from Manuela Ramos of S/.300 (300 Peruvian soles or about US$100) decided to set up a small sewing business. Her business is in her house. She gets up every morning at 6 to go to the market and make breakfast for her children and spends the afternoons on sewing jobs.


With a recently-granted loan from Manuela Ramos of S/.1,000 (about US$335), to be repaid in 5 months, she will supply her workroom with 50 meters of cloth, a half-dozen threads, 3 packets of needles, 3 rolls of elastic, a supply of lace and oil to take care of her sewing machine.


Lilia is pleased to see her business prosper because it's been a very important goal for her. Thanks to the business, she's improved her family's well-being.
