We find Mrs. Julia in her humble home, eagerly blending the immense variety of wool that she keeps in her house for the tailoring of her beautiful and colorful “chompas” (Peruvian wool sweaters). She is a mother who is a fighter and very innovative, she has three children; for some years she has been knitting “chompas” manually, but as she obtained better economic income bit by bit she acquired sewing machines that perfected her beautiful garments. Nowadays, with her adolescent children whom she diligently takes care of in her free time, she has strengthened her business, converting her workshop into one of the biggest and most renowned that she dedicates herself to the exportation of “chompas”, with the economic profits that she obtains thanks to her management of this activity, she has bettered her home and she has provided studies for her dear children. In this opportunity Julia applies for a loan that she has thought to invest in the purchase of a better quantity and variety of raw material to continue making her elegant “chompas.” Julia is thankful for the opportunity you provide her to grow her business.

Encontramos a doña Julia, en su humilde hogar, matizando afanosamente la inmensa variedad de lanas que guarda en casa para la confección de sus hermosas y coloridas chompas. Ella es una madre muy luchadora y emprendedora, tiene tres hijos; hace algunos años atrás tejía chompas manualmente, pero conforme obtenía mayores ingresos económicos poco a poco fue adquiriendo máquinas de tejer que le fueron aliviando y perfeccionando sus bellas prendas. Actualmente, ya con sus hijos adolescentes, quienes le apoyan diligentemente en sus horas libres, ha fortalecido su negocio, convirtiendo su taller en uno de los más grandes y reconocidos que se dedican a la exportación de chompas, con las ganancias económicas que obtiene gracias a su desenvolvimiento en esta actividad ha mejorado su vivienda y les ha brindado estudios a sus queridos hijos.En esta oportunidad Julia, hace la solicitud de un préstamo que tiene pensado invertir en la compra de mayor cantidad y variedad de materia prima para seguir confeccionando sus elegantes chompas.Julia agradece mucho la oportunidad que le brindas para acrecentar su negocio.
