JESUS ANGELITA is 35 years old and lives in the Del Provenir District, Trujillo Province, Department of La Libertad – Perú. She belongs to the Mujeres Decididas ("Determined Women") Communal Bank. She finished 11th grade, is separated and has 2 daughters who are economically dependent on her. She works selling beer, soft drinks, and cosmetics from her house and is now taking advantage of summertime to sell raspadillas (cold fruit drinks) on a street near her house. With her first loan of 300 soles, she began selling soft drinks, beer and also cosmetics like lipsticks, colognes, perfumes, powders, etc.
She will use this loan of 2,000 soles to buy benches, beer and soft drinks wholesale, and also to increase her stock of cosmetics. She will buy products on sale (colognes, lipsticks, blush, eyeliners, shampoos, creams, etc.) to sell later at a higher price and in this way increase her profits. She dreams of setting up a store in her house to expand her business and earn more money for the care and education of her daughters.
