This is Zenaida at her little market spot. She has an amazingly inspirational story of how she started her sewing business that focuses on making school uniforms. She used to sew during the middle of the night because that was the only time she could get a hold of a sewing machine when someone else wasn't using it. Eventually she was able to receive a micro loan from Mibanco and has since bought two sewing machines. Her business has been very constant as everyone in Chorrillos knows she does the best work. The picture below is Zenaida's house where the sewing production happens. When she finishes paying off her current loan she wants to take out another one so she can buy an additional machine and have her daughter start helping out with the business.
