Señora Victoria lives in the Mariscal Caceres province, Juanjui district, San Martin department. She is dedicated to sell groceries, clothes, plastic articles, and ice creams. Her business is located within her home in a suitable place for her sales. She has been in this business for 4 years. During that time she became a member of the "El Tiempo es Oro" (Time is gold) Community Bank. She came up with the idea of having her own business because she had the need of supporting her household and be useful. At the present time, she has a varied business and is also working with her youngest daughter who helps her with the administration of it and together they are making the business grow day by day

With the 2,000 soles (Peruvian currency) loan, which she will pay back in 6 months, she will buy goods to supply her business like 2 sacks of rice, 2 sacks of sugar (each sack is 50 kg), 2 packets of oil, 2 boxes of soap, detergent packets, one sack of potatoes and one of onions, some clothing, and others. She will be able to supply her business and serve it with the same kindness, happiness, and sense of responsibility that characterizes her day by day relations with her loyal customers.

Señora Victoria is 69 years old. She has seven children which she is still in charge of two of them. She lives with her husband which is three years older and a grandson whcih she cares for everyday. She shows us that there are no age limits if you want to move forward only you have to work with dedication and perseverance.
