The 8 de Septiembre Village Bank is beginning its sixth loan cycle with 19 group members. The group members live in the Acosvinchos District, a farming community located 90 minutes outside of the city of Ayacucho. The group members have a variety of businesses. Some sell firewood, dry goods, grains, shoes, meat, clothing, and animals; others work as carpenters or bake bread. They sell their wares from home, on the street and in the city of Ayacucho. Isabel is 31 years old and is married with two children. Isabel has a dry goods store in her home, and she and her husband also make terra cotta roof tiles, which they also sell from home. Isabel needs a loan of 600 soles to buy rice and sugar. Juana is 36 years old and is married with four children. Juana buys grains from different local producers. After buying a truckload full of grains, she brings it to the city of Ayacucho to sell. Juana also has a farm. She needs a loan of 600 soles to buy wheat and corn. Aurora is 39 years old and is married with four children. Aurora sells meat. She buys the animals in nearby villages, slaughters them herself, and sells the meat in the local market. Aurora and her husband also sell sandals made from car tires, which are commonly worn by people who live in the countryside. Aurora needs a loan of 300 soles to buy more of these sandals. The group members are requesting different loan amounts, like 300, 450, 600, 900 or 1000 Peruvian Soles. These loans will be used to buy sandals, wheat, flour, sugar, sneakers, clothing, and to pay farmhands. The group members dream that their children will grow up to be working professionals, of improving their businesses, and of having more investment capital.

Update from Peru on your loan!
 
Entrepreneur: 8 De Setiembre Group
Location: Ayacucho, Peru

The 8 de Septiembre Village Bank is beginning its sixth loan cycle with 19 group members. The group members live in the Acosvinchos District, a farming community located 90 minutes outside of the city of Ayacucho.

A few of the group members allowed me to interview them to see how their loan process has been going.

Isabel, whose group loan portion was 600 soles, purchased merchandise for her small shop. She was able to expand the variety of goods that she sells, and business has been going well. She has had no trouble making her loan repayments on time. Isabel believes the loan has helped her to have more capital and start with more, so that she can end with more. She hopes to have her own store, which she owns, soon enough. She is most thankful to FINCA for how they help her to save and teach her business skills.

Julia, whose group loan portion was 300 soles, invested her loan in grains and cereals for her business selling from a stand in the market. Her business has been going well, with no tr

ouble repaying, because she works very hard. She now has more capital and spare cash for her family. She hopes to build a house of her own someday, and that is her main motivation for saving now.

Donato used his portion of the group loan to buy more shoes for his shoe shop. He purchased more so as to have a wider variety for sale, and as a result he has had more profits. He wants to continue taking out loans so that he can grow his capital even more. He is most thankful to FINCA for giving him the help he needed and teaching him how to save.

Lastly, Isabel, Julia, and Donato shared with me that all of the other members have small businesses and have been doing well.

Below is a photo taken of the 8 De Septiembre group last week.
