Miski Uno De Phiry Group's story

These members belong to the communal bank "Miski Uno de Phiry." This bank is located in the district of Ollantaytambo, in the province of Urubamba and the department of Cusco.

Member Avelina works in her business of selling chicha [a traditional drink made from purple corn]. She sells from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. She has already been in this business for some years, and it is going very well for her.

Her dream is to expand her business of selling chicha.

She is applying for the loan to buy corn to make chicha.

The members in general feel grateful for the loan, and they promise to make the established payments.
