Elabora más bordados.
 
Entrepreneur: María
Location: Huancayo, Peru

Con el préstamo que le dieron, María compró telas e hilos de diversos colores que usa para la elaboración de sus bordados de faldas típicas de su zona. Anteriormente se limitaba a producir sus bordados pues no contaba con la cantidad suficiente de material para complacer a sus clientes, en la actualidad ella elabora la cantidad necesaria lo que ha producido una mejora en su economía. Ella esta muy agradecida con el crédito que le otorgó Microfinanzas PRISMA ya que le ha dado resultados positivos en su negocio. Asimismo esta contenta de pertenecer a su banco Comunal ya que encontró el apoyo necesario para progresar con su trabajo. En el futuro espera mejorar aun más su producción y llegar a fundar su propio taller de bordados.
