Rita is the eldest of 3 children. Her happy disposition and her hard working nature have become her greatest attributes. Rita, immediately after having completed high school she decided to face life head on so that she might earn a daily living to support her parents and to provide an education to her younger brothers. This hard working young woman tried her luck in many jobs but unfortunately none were very profitable. But a few months ago she decided to buy an immense variety of fruits and vegetables wholesale in her native city of Juliaca to re-sell in a mine, a secluded, cold and poorly accessible location. With this business and her hard work, finally she has been able to improve the quality of life for herself and for her beloved parents. With your generous support it will be possible for Rita to firmly establish her efforts.
