Gina, fifty-three, is the mother of nine children, currently living with two of them and her husband, who supports her in all her endeavors. She has her small grocery store in her house and is always committed to giving good service. She sells groceries and drinks. She started her business a year ago. What she likes about her work is the exchange of ideas that she has with her customers and she knows a lot of people. The business makes profit, and she still has no competition – she is the only one in her area who sells those products of basic necessity. It is going exceptionally well for her. This is her fifth loan with MFP. She has been punctual in making her previous payments. With the money she requests now, she wants to be in charge of expanding her business and of course buy more products to add to her business.

Incursionando en nuevos negocios
 
Entrepreneur: Gina
Location: Pucallpa, Peru

Gina compró un motor para su moto, la cual es su principal herramienta de trabajo, y ahora esta trabajando como es debido ya que no tiene dificultad alguna, es así que decidió invertir la otra parte del préstamo en su pequeño negocio de venta de chupetes y refrescos los mismos que los lleva a vender a las afueras de una institución educativa, resultándole muy rentable ya que las ventas de bebidas y helados son muy cotizadas por los estudiantes. Ella siempre esta pensando en nueva formas de negocio y su sueño futuro es llegar a tener un minimarket, en el cual ofrezca productos variados y de primera necesidad, y sabe que si sigue trabajando como hasta ahora todos sus sueños se harán realidad, ella agradece a su ACPD y a las personas que hicieron posibles estos cambios.
