In Quiroga parish in the city of Calceta, a place where people work mainly in agriculture and livestock production, the communal bank "Quiroga" meets every 15 days.
Here we meet Yadira, aged 32, who is in a common-law marriage that has produced 2 children aged 12 and 3. Her oldest is in middle school and her husband works as a farmer.
Yadira is a very good wife and mother who started a business selling clothing through a catalog to help her husband with the household expenses. She sells door-to-door taking orders, and she receives her products from a distributor in the city of Calceta. Later she delivers the merchandise to her customers and allows them to pay for the goods on credit.
This loan will be used to buy pants, shirts, blouses, children's clothing and other garments. She has been with her communal bank for 6 loan cycles, and she likes it because of the easy payment terms of the loans.
Her dream is to have her own house, since she lives in her parent's house.
