We find 62 year old María in her small home happily preparing her delicious and varied potajes (vegetable stews, often made with chick peas) so that she can later sell them in the Laguna Terminal market in the city of Juliaca. She is the mother of two children, 26 and 20 years old, who support her unconditionally in her noble labor. For many years she worked as a craftswoman, but her agility and skill for weaving chompas (typical garments of Peru) decreased as she grew older. For this reason she decided to dedicate herself to selling prepared foods. The business is bringing her a good income and with her earnings she plans to renovate her small house, a project that has been waiting for years. To finalize her plans she wants to obtain a loan which she will invest innthe repair of her home. With your unselfish support she will be able to finalize her project in a very short time.

Ella es madre de dos hijos de 26 y 20 años de edad quienes la apoyan incondicionalmente en su noble labor.Ella durante muchos años estaba dedicada a la labor artesanal, pero su agilidad y habilidad para el tejido de chompas fueron disminuyendo conforme pasaban los años, por esa razón es que decidió dedicarse a la venta de comida, esta actividad le viene generando buenos ingresos y con las ganancias que ha ido obteniendo tiene pensado refaccionar su casita que por muchos años ha estado suspendida.Para concretar sus planes desea obtener un préstamo de dinero que tiene pensado invertir en el arreglo de su vivienda.
