Asunción is the owner of a haberdashery that is located insaide the municipal market of Itá. She began this activity 15 years ago and travels every day from the city of Guarambaré (half an hour from Itá) in order to open her business and tend to her customers.


Asunción works seven days a week, even on rainy days and holidays. Her business is her sole source of income. Thanks to her hard work and effort she has been able to provide her home with furniture and electric appliances.


Among the many products she sells are clothing for ladies, gentlemen and children. She also markets commodities for the home such as sheets, towels, vases, plates, and silverware. She dreams that her business would grow every day so this way she can generate more income.
