Flor de María is 20 years old, single, and lives with her parents. Her daily labor involves food sales, tending to the rafters, inhabitants, and tourists who live and visit the island of Tata Kily. She starts her work at 8 am in the morning, cooking lunch in her home and then leaving to travel to the island where she sells her delicious products. Apart from selling food, she caters to the tourists in her small house made of reeds where she also offers sodas, energy drinks, and other items. The business is good, as it provides a good income that allows her to cover her expenses and also help the family’s finances. It is her first loan with Microfinanzas Prisma. With the funds she is requesting, she will purchase more ingredients and supplies so she can cook more food, expand her sales to other islands, and be more profitable.

Creciendo su negocio.

El préstamo que le dieron a Flor de María ayudó a expandir su negocio y tener más demanda de sus comidas. Los viajes a remo hacía las islas flotantes de los Uros son más continuos consiguiendo tener más ganancias. Ella agradece a MFP y a todas las personas que la apoyaron y confiaron en ella en concederle el préstamo para el desarrollo de su negocio. Considera que el trabajo que realizó en su banco comunal fue provechoso ya que ayudó a sus socias a cumplir con el pago de sus cuotas.
