All of the group members are from the Chiara District, located one hour outside of the city of Ayacucho. Most of the local community members are farmers or raise animals. The group members are involved in a variety of different business activities. Some sell dry goods, small animals, food, sweets, grains, or firewood, while others are farmers.

She also grows corn and potatoes, which she sells in the markets in the city of Ayacucho. Rosa is 36 years old and married with six children. Rosa has a store in the Kishuar community, located 30 minutes outside of Chiara. She also farms and raises animals. Luzmila is 26 years old and lives with her partner and their three children. Luzmila raises guinea pigs (a Peruvian delicacy) and also buys guinea pigs from other farmers, selling them in the city of Ayacucho.



The group members are requesting different loan amounts, like 300 (US$ 100), 450 (US$ 150), 600 (US$ 200) or 900 (US$ 300) soles. "Iris Lanao" is requesting a total of 14,500 soles in loans. The loans will be used to buy animals, rice, sugar, sweets, firewood, clothing and grains. Some of the group members dreams are for their children to get an education, to expand their businesses, to get ahead in life and to have all the basic necessities.
