Juana Manani Condori

Juana is 46 years old, divorced, and lives with her two children: Ronald, 11 years old, and Maria, 6 years old. She makes a living by selling candies and by renting out a tri-cycle that she owns. For the past 4 years, after she separated from her husband, she has had to work in every way possible in order to make enough income to support her family. Today, Juana makes a living by selling candies on the street in the city of Juliaca and by renting the tricycle, which does not require much time since the people who want it go directly to her house. She tries to work as much as she can in order to support her family. She has always worked and likes doing it, but she says it leaves her exhausted. Her motive is to move forward with her family so that they do not lack anything. With the money she is requesting, she will buy more candies to increase her sales and in the future, invest in a more profitable business.
