Semilina

Semilina is a member of the Urubamba Communal Bank. She is from the community of Huascahura which is located 20 minutes from the city of Ayacucho. Semilina is 41 years of age, single and has one son. She has a store in rented space where she sells clothing. She also buys tara (a raw material for making tannic acid), hides and suckling pigs which she later re-sells to suppliers in Ayacucho. Semilina needs a loan of 3,000 Sols which she will invest in the purchase of pants and jackets. She hopes one day to build herself a house and that her son will be able to get ahead in life.
