Enma, 45, is an unassuming, hard working woman. She lives in her own home with her husband, Glicer, 33, and their two beloved children for whom she wants to provide a better quality of life.
Enma’s business is located in San Pedro de Cajas’ Artisan Center. She is convinced that the variety of her products are the reason for her increased sales. This is why she tries hard not to repeat any of her designs.
What she most enjoys about her work is weaving and the more she does it the better she feels. Besides, this makes it possible for her to pay for her children’s education.
She’s been in this line of work for 20 years and considers the most difficult part of it having to take her weavings all the way to her sales booth because she lives quite far from there.
For the future she’d like to gather enough money to set up a store where she can sell her items more comfortably.
This is her 3rd loan with MFP; she is very punctual with her repayments because she doesn’t want to cause any problems for her communal bank where she is very happy and knows that it will help her progress.
She wil use the requested 500 new soles to buy wool to increase the amount of items she makes.
