The "Rayito de sol" [Little ray of sunlight] communal bank will start its third cycle with Pro Mujer, as a part of the Villa Exaltación satellite office. It is composed of eight members and led by a board where Clary is the president. They have different businesses, such as selling bread, selling CDs, selling shoes, selling tools, selling groceries, selling pillows, and selling blankets.
The loan they applied for will help small micro entrepreneurs such as Clary. She says that she has been working with Pro Mujer for two years, and that she joined after receiving a visit from the institution. She currently sells perfumes, and says that she learned this activity some years ago, with the help of a friend.
She will use this loan to increase her capital. She will buy perfumes in large quantities from a cosmetics company, and then sell them at one of the markets of the city of El Alto. This activity helps her to generate the economic resources her family needs; she lives in a common-law marriage and has two children.
When asked what she likes about Pro Mujer, she says that she likes the healthcare services offered by the institution, and the customer service.
