Yumantay Group's story

The YUMANTAY group is in its 38th cycle. The group is made up of 11 members. Only the members of the board of directors can be seen in the photo due to the pandemic (the president, treasurer, and secretary). They are happy to continue with the team, as they are working for a better future.

Maria is 50 years old and has 3 children, who are her strength to keep going forward. She considers herself to be a happy and hardworking woman.

For 15 years, she has had a business sewing clothes. That is why her biggest challenge is making a clothing store. having a store is also her biggest dream.

In addition to this business, her other source of income is her decoration service. She will use the Kiva loan to buy sewing supplies to continue repairing her customers' clothing and also creating new designs, and with the extra profits, make floral decorations, like in her business.

In this group: Victor Fernando , Dani Antero , Alexandra Maria , Fiorela Antonia , Jessica , Jiovanni , Lita Iris , Gabriel , Maria Petruzka , Dary Hayme , Narciso
