Sara's story

Srta. Sara is a member of the Communal Bank “Luchando Por Nosotras” (Fighting For Us), which in the District of Calleria, Department of Ucayali. She is 24 years old, single, and enjoys working at her business selling food and candy as a street vendor.


Every day Sara goes out to sell the food she prepares and move the equipment that she uses. She brings with her a table, a grill, charcoal, and benches to make her customers comfortable while they are having breakfast. Sara starts working in the early morning hours and finishes at 8am since she only serves breakfast.


She will invest her loan of 1500 PEN from Manuela Ramos in the following supplies: one dozen plates, a half dozen spoons, a half dozen cups, one set of pots, two tablecloths, one packet of napkins, and two sets of tables. Srta. Sara is grateful to Manuela Ramos because these loans have enabled her to work on her own and not have to depend on anyone. She sticks to her schedule and is able to complete her other daily activities.
