Calzada Interoceanica Group's story

Nelly belongs to the communal bank, “Calzada Interoceanica.” The bank is located in the district of Echarate, in the province of La Convención and the department of Cusco.

Nelly is 45 years old and has 6 children. She alternates her daily activities, making a living from the business of cultivating fruit, such as bananas, oranges, and mandarin oranges. She is a hard-working woman who, by means of this business, supports her family.

She has been with her business for a good amount of time, which is going well for her thanks to the determination that she puts into her business each day. Nelly wishes to be able to continue working so that she can continue supporting her family in this way. She is requesting the loan to purchase seeds and fertilizer.

The members in general are thankful for the loan provided and promise to make their established payments.
