More than eight years ago, 18 women formed the “Corazones de Oro” Association. They work together with the Pro-Mujer family convinced that they can improve their quality of life. The majority of the women live in the Senkata neighborhood in the city of El Alto. The most common activity among them is the preparation and sale of food in local markets and boarding houses, as is the case with Bacilia who rents a space where she can offer, for the most part, traditional food like chairo paceño (soup made with dried potatoes and lamb), fricase (stew made with pork, white corn and dried potatoes) and pork rinds among other dishes.


The women affirm that an increase in food prices caused an imbalance in their earnings, which is what brings them to ask for additional credit. They will inject capital into their businesses in order to maintain economic stability in their homes.

Translated from Spanish by Hugh Yarbrough, Kiva Volunteer.



Hace mas de nueve años 18 mujeres conforman la asociación “Corazones de Oro” que trabajan junto a la familia de Pro-Mujer, convencidas de que pueden mejorar su calidad de vida. La mayoría de ellas viven en la zona de Senkata de la ciudad de El Alto, siendo la actividad mas común entre ellas la elaboración y venta de comida en mercados del lugar y también en pensiones, como es el caso de doña Bacilia, que alquila una pensión para ofrecer por lo general comida tradicional como ser: chairo paceño, fricase, chicharon y otros, afirman que el alza de los precios en los alimentos causo desequilibrio en sus ganancias lo que les lleva a solicitar créditos mayores para inyectar capital a sus negocios, con el unico fin de mantener estabilidad económica en sus hogares
