These are the members of the communal bank “Corazon de Jesus de Yanama”, which is located in the Ocongate district of Quispicanchis, in Cusco.
The member in question is Susana who is 38-years-old and married with 3 children. She works in agriculture and makes a living rearing animals such as guinea pigs and chickens. Through this work Susana would like to launch a local store, since it is her dream to own her own business. She would also like a larger space where she is able to sell her animals. Susana is requesting this loan in order to buy guinea pigs and chickens as well as animal feed.
The other members of this group make a living from agriculture, running a restaurant, animal sales, and managing a grocery store.
Susana is very grateful to those who will make her dream come true by means of this loan and she is committed to making the repayments within the established timeframe.
In this group: Susana, Mercedes, Ceferina, Julian, Maria*, Nazaria Yovana, Elbert
