Rosario is 31 years old, is married and lives with her husband and their three kids (the oldest is 11 and her twin girls are 8 years old) in their own home in the district of Ventanilla in the city of Lima. Since she was very young, she has been working in different trades to support herself. But when she had her family, her work diminished as she dedicated herself to her young children, which she loves doing. As she says, educating them is the most rewarding job. Still, she has looked for ways to carry out a job from her home to help with home expenses, entering into the sale of cosmetics, among other professions.

Now she is working in the management of her car, but first she has to repair it to be able to provide a good service. Her husband was using the car to get himself to work because they lived far away, but now his job has been moved closer to their home, and therefore he no longer uses the car. Therefore, they will use the car as a business to transport passengers. Rosario and her husband have great hopes of earning a good profit from the car, as the zone in which they live is difficult to get around and the residents need to get to their centers of work or study. The residents often opt for transportation in three-wheeled motor vehicles, which usually charge a very high price. Rosario and her husband hope to offer their taxi service to transport more people for a lower price, earning a good profit as well as helping their neighbors.

Rosario has received various loans with MFP in a communal bank, but this is her first individual loan, and she has always been extremely punctual with her payments. With the money she is requesting, she hopes to make repairs to her car before using it to increase her family income, since her children are growing up and she wants to give them a good education.

Rosario tiene 31 años, es casada, vive con su esposo y sus tres hijos, el mayor de 11 y sus gemelas de 8 años, en su casa propia en el distrito de Ventanilla en la ciudad de Lima. Desde muy joven ha venido trabajando en diferentes oficios para mantenerse, pero al conformar su familia, estas labores disminuyeron ya que tener hijos pequeños hizo que deba dedicarse más a ellos, lo cual le encanta, ya que como dice; educarlos es su mejor labor. Aún así Rosario a buscado las maneras de ejecutar una labor para ayudar con los gastos del hogar desde su casa, incursionando en la venta de cosméticos, entre otros oficios. Pero hoy en día optó por dedicarse a la administración de su carro, pero primero debe refaccionarlo para poder brindar un buen servicio; este carro lo utilizaba su esposo para desplazarse al trabajo ya que la distancia de donde vive es muy lejana, pero ahora trasladaron a su esposo cerca a su casa, así que ya no lo utilizará, entonces los usará para el negocio del trasporte de pasajeros. Rosario y su esposo tienen grandes esperanzas de lograr buenos ingresos con su carro, ya que la zona por la que viven es de dificil acceso y las personas que ahí habitan necesitan trasladarse a sus centros de trabajo o estudios y optan por hacerlo en motocarros, los cuales cobran precios muy elevados en muchas ocasiones, es así que ellos esperan ofrecer el servicio de taxi colectivo donde podrán trasladar a más personas a un menor precio, logrando buenos ingresos y de paso ayudando a sus vecinos. Rosario ha tenido varios préstamos con MFP en un banco comunal, pero este es su primer préstamo individual, y siempre ha demostrando gran puntualidad en todos sus pagos. Con el dinero solicitado espera dejar en óptimas condiciones su carro para trabajar cuanto antes y así mejorar los ingresos de su hogar, ya que sus hijos van creciendo y ella quiere brindarles una buena educación.
