Tuesday was an incredible day which included visiting three of the micro credit program beneficiaries.
Maria had a lovely contenance - her smile just radiated as she shared with us in the workroom in her basic El Alto home. Loans from the micro credit program have allowed her to purchase moulds and materials for her candle making business. In order to sell her product for cash (as opposed to credit) she travels each Friday several hours by public transport to sell her candles. Her four children help with the business but also attend school in the morning. She also bakes and decorates cakes to sell which is her real passion. Her dream is one day to open a bakery and provide employment for others. Micro credit is truly a program that is making a difference!
