Señor De Potocchi Group

Rosa Muño is married and has a small store, which she runs with the help of her husband. He used to work as a janitor at a local school, but is now retired and receives a pension. “I’ve learned to save and how to distribute my money within my business,” she says. She will use her loan to buy construction materials for her store and to pay the rent.

Aurelia Ccora is married and has a store where she sells drinks, dry goods, and sweets. Years ago, her husband had an accident and as a result her business suffered, so now she uses her loans to buy more merchandise to restock the store. Her dream is to have a business to train women to weave and do handicrafts.

Blanca Ayuque is married and has an 8-year-old son. She has a boutique which she would like to stock with more things such as cosmetics. She also wants to save up to buy a home.
