A loan of $1,500 helps to increase the merchandise in her accessories business.

Cinthya Lizeth's story
Cinthya is 42 years old and lives in Chala. It is a coastal community in the province of Caravelí where access to employment opportunities are limited. Many people have to combine different activities to support their families. In this context, starting and maintaining a small business represents an important effort and a real path to improving household income.
Some years ago, Cinthya decided to start a business selling women's accessories. She was seeking an activity that would allow her to have more stable income in addition to the occasional jobs she does. Her business has grown thanks to her hard work, but re-supplying in remote areas like Chala involves higher costs and a permanent investment.
For this, Cinthya seeks a loan to increase her business' merchandise and provide a wider variety of products. This support will allow her to fortify her business activity, improve her income, and to give her family more stability.
Supporting Cinthya is backing an enterprising woman who, in an environment with limited opportunities, works every day to build a more secure future for her loved ones.
