The two women have different businesses for which they use their loans from Finca. María´s has a bookstore that she has been running for two years while Ruth has a business of selling clothes by going to people´s houses. Maria´s last loan was 1000 soles which she used to buy more books in order to add to the selection in her bookstore and help grow her business.

The two women have learned several valuable things in their time with Finca such as how to be more responsible both in their homes and at their businesses, as well as how important it is to have some savings. They have also learned several things that have helped them to run their businesses more efficiently—such as how to select the best products to sell, to pay attention to customers and treat them with respect, as well as several other valuable lessons. The women are also grateful for the values they have learned from Finca – they practice them in their homes in order to set a good example for their children.
