Dionicia

Dionicia tiene 49 años, vive con su esposo y la menor de sus hijas. Durante toda su vida se ha dedicado a la venta de ganado, vino a radicar a la ciudad de Huancayo para mejorar la situación de su familia, trajo consigo a algunos animales que tenía y con el tiempo pudo adquirir mayor cantidad, los cuales vende en las ferias de los fines de semana. Vende ovejas, llamas y alpacas, con ello, pudo sostener la educación de sus 7 hijos y ahora sólo le queda la menor que tiene 16 años, para ella, lo más difícil que suele suceder es cuando el clima es adverso (temperatura muy baja) la demanda de sus animales disminuye, pero eso no la detiene y sigue adelante.
Dionicia desea incrementar su capital de trabajo, para lo cual solicita un crédito que le permitirá obtener mayor cantidad de animales.

Dionicio is 49 years old, lives with her husband and their young daughters. Throughout her life she has worked selling livestock; she began living in the city of Huancayo to improve the situation of her family. She brought with her some animals that she had and was eventually able to acquire several others which she sells in markets on weekends. She sells sheep, llamas and alpacas, and thus, was able to educate her 7 children, now there is only one who is less than 16 years old. It is very difficult for her when the climate dips very low and the demand for animals decreases; this does not stop her from continuing to work to get ahead. Dionicio wants to increase her working capital and thus is asking for a loan that would allow her to obtain a greater number of animals.
