Severina Flores Quispe is the owner of a grocery store located in her own home. It is a rather well-stocked store which over time, almost 8 years, has become one of the most important in the area. Severina has even installed a long distance and local phone booth in the store in order to better accommodate her clients.


Along with this activity, Severina works buying and selling hats and women’s shawls, which she displays in her store, often selling them on credit.


Currently Severina lives in her own house along with her children and their spouses, but she needs money in order to improve and better supply her store. Her aim is to increase her income and thereby assist her children and soon her grandchildren.

Translated from Spanish by Debra Faszer-McMahon, Kiva Volunteer.



Severina Flores Quispe, es dueña de una tienda de abarrotes ubicada en su mismo domicilio, es una tienda bastante bien surtida, que con el paso del tiempo, casi 8 años, se ha convertido en una de las tiendas más importantes de la zona, al extremo de que Severina ya ha instalado una central de llamadas de larga distancia y local para mayor comodidad de sus clientes.


Paralelamente a esta actividad, ella se dedica a la compra y venta de sombreros y mantas para la mujer de pollera, mismas que aprovecha y vende dentro de su propia tienda y muchas veces al crédito.


Actualmente Severina vive en casa propia al lado de sus hijos y sus parejas, pero precisa dinero para poder incrementar y abastecer mejor la tienda, con el fin de mejorar sus ingresos y así colaborar a sus hijos y próximamente a sus nietos.
