Mirtha is a member of the Yanapanakusun communal bank. In Quechua, ‘yanapanakusun’ means ‘let’s help each other’.
Mirtha has a live-in partner and has 6 children. She sells various candies in the central park of the city of Huamanga, as well as popcorn that she makes herself. She travels to the patron saint day festivities in different towns where she sells her products. In addition, Mirtha also purchases scrap with her husband from different towns and uses a car to do so.
Mirtha needs a loan of 3000 PEN for the purchase of corn, oil, and bags. Her dreams are to have her own space to sell, a stable business, and to work raising guinea pigs.
