Soledad Huaman Flores

Soledad is married, is 32 years old, and has three children. She and her husband work on the farm. She has always liked working, and she is not dependent on her husband. Because of this, in addition to working on the farm, she has decided to buy trees, chop them, and sell them as firewood. In this way, she will have another source of income. She is thinking about opening a grocery store, since she now has her own house, because she likes to be around people and, at the same time, will earn more money. It is difficult that in agriculture, a lot is invested, but the products cost very little. This is the reason that she wants to earn more income. Soledad works on the farm helping her husband, because she wants to educate her three young children and wants them to be professionals. With the loan, she will be able to have a grocery store in her house and, at the same time, increase the quantity of chopped wood she sells.

Soledad es casada, tiene 32 años y tres hijos, junto a su esposo trabajan en la chacra. Siempre le ha gustado trabajar y no depender de su esposo, por ello que además de trabajar en la chacra, ha decidido a comprar árboles y trozarlos y venderlos como leña, de ese modo generar otra fuente de ingreso en su economía. Tiene en mente abrir un negocio de venta de abarrotes, ya que ahora tiene su propia casa, porque a ella le agrada estar en contacto con la gente y de paso ir generándose un ingreso extra. Lo difícil es que en la agricultura, se invierte mucho, pero cuesta muy poco su producto, por eso es que quiere generar un ingreso adicional. Soledad trabaja en la chacra ayudando a su esposo, porque a sus 3 menores hijos desea educarlos en la ciudad y sean unos buenos profesionales. Con el préstamo podrá una tienda de abarrotes en su casa, y de paso incrementar la cantidad de rajados de madera.
