“I sell dried goods such as potatoes, corns and so on. My husband is a farmer and through this activity he helps the family. I have been working in this field for a few years, and things are going well for me thanks to the carefulness I put in my job. I needed money to increase my working capital and it was then when I was given the chance to become a member of the communal bank of the Asociación Arariwa: they helped me thorough some loans, and thus I was able to begin improving my activity. In this case I am requesting a loan to buy more dried goods”.
The community of Yungaqui is located no less than 45 minutes from the town of Cusco, and 10 minutes from the town of Izcuchaca.
