Doris Elena's story
Doria Elena is 52 years old and lives in Pausa, a city located in the Ayacucho highlands with a rugged landscape and a diverse economy. In this environment, formal employment isn't accessible for everyone which is why some people opt to develop their own businesses as an alternative form of income.
With this approach, Doria Elena opened her own store dedicated to selling clothing and textile products. Over time she's worked consistently to maintain her business, serving customers and adapting to the local market conditions.
She's seeking funding to buy more merchandise and make improvements to her store with the goal of expanding her inventory and strengthening her business. This support will allow her to consolidate the business that she's built with hard work and perseverance.
Supporting Doria Elena means supporting an entrepreneurial woman who is committed to independent work as a way to continue growing and achieving financial stability.
