The group Mujeres Emprendedoras de Limatambo is a responsible, happy groups made up of eight memebers. They are in the first lending cycle, led by Cleofe, the president, along with the treasurer and secretary. Because of the pandemic, only the three of them appear in the photograph.

Cleofe, 34, has two children ages 5 and 1. She is currently single and her children are her greatest motivation and strength to get ahead. She considers herself a hard-working, responsible, and successful woman. For five years, she has had a cacao business. This is why her greatest challenge is to position herself as a leader in the production and sale of cacao.

Also, Cleofe's greatest dream is to grow and have a lot of cacao production to export. Besides this business, her other source of income is carpentry; she fixes and makes chairs, tables, and furniture. She also works as a day laborer in other parcels.

Cleofe will use the loan to maintain her agricultural parcel to have a good cacao product to keep offering her customers so they are happy. She also wants to buy wood, and use the extra earnings as savings.
