Loan #9: Felipa Candia Auccaillo -- As of July 2011, Felipa has fully paid back her loan!

Felipa

One of our best friends in Cusco, Fania, asked us if we would consider giving a loan to her mother, Felipa. We had the chance to meet and talk with Felipa while we were there, and we were very excited to hear about her plans. She and her husband (pictured below) live in a small town called Rondocan about 2 hours drive from Cusco. Felipa would like to open a small store that sells groceries. (This is very common in Peru. The stores tend to be a small room stocked with basic groceries, attached to someone's house, and accessible from the street. See photo below.)

Marleni has requested a loan, with her husband, to purchase a used car to use as a taxi. In Cusco, tourism and taxis are a huge part of the economy and the main source of income for many people.
