Making yogurt, cheeses, and ice cream is the main activity of the "Carita de Arcilla" (Face of Clay) association, which is made up of 16 women, who are sure to triumph in their businesses. They start their days very early. They first leave food cooked for their families and then dedicate themselves to making cheeses, yogurt, and exquisite handmade ice cream. They say that with better training in terms of sales and distribution of their products, they could sell them in larger quantities. This is why they need a credit to improve the quality of their products in terms of the packaging, presentation, and distribution. This way they will be able to sell more and to improve their income for the good of their families.

Translated from Spanish by Tanya Harper, Kiva volunteer
