Zoila belongs to the Las Paikanas community bank located in AH, at Micaela Bastidas, Jr. 1ro de Mayo 250, District of Calleria, Deparment of Ucayali. She is 34 years old and the mother of two young children who are still dependent on her. She is married and her husband works in a glass factory. With the first 300 sols loan granted by Manuela Ramos, she decided to begin selling soft drinks.


She currently still sells carbonated beverages, ice and homemade popsicles.


With the loan valued at 1,000 sols, which she will repay in five months, she will purchase bags for the ice and popsicles, 1 box of milk and 10 boxes of soft drinks.


Zoila has become an enterprising woman who independently manages her own business, supports her family and finances her children’s education. She has shown that the support from Manuela Ramos has helped her to grow, to believe in herself and to do things she never thought possible; she is very proud of these achievements.
