The Villa Exaltación center is located in an area with the same name. The Cristal association, which belongs to this center, is comprised of twelve very pleasant members who have been working in an organized manner for several years. The Cristal association members partake in different types of business activities. Martha, for example, has her own motor oil shop, while other members sell vegetables, American apparel, electronics, used clothing and homemade, bottled quinoa juice.


They state that they need more work capital in order to purchase supplies and raw materials (depending on each business) in order to expand their businesses and generate more income.




Translated from Spanish by Elizabeth Casian, Kiva Volunteer
