CARLOS FRANCISCO CALDERON MEZA, Breeder and farmer
I am over 10 years of collaboration with Confianza: my first loan was used to build a small barn for my cattle, but now I have more cows, I built trough for 12 cows, thanks to the credit Confianza granted me
This loan is a great help to me, because while working and paying my dues regularly, I can also rent, for example, I wanted to buy or rent land, but I told myself where I am going to find the money?
In the fields of artichokes that I rent, before there was not enough money to pay rent, so I went to see Confianza and I said "I need money to rent a farm" and I got the loan, then our situation is improving day by day and more.

Before, we produced chairs in small quantities, but we needed more capital, I asked for a loan and Confianza accepted. My first loan of 500 soles was used to buy a lathe (machine). Then I took another loan to buy another machine, a circular saw, after I bought more machinery and materials such as wood finishing supplies, varnish, so many things essential to the manufacture furniture.
Now, with my husband we produce in greater quantity, 20-30 seats per week and in the same way, 15-18 games of armchairs. Currently, I export my work to other countries like France and we also manufacture miniature chairs and special chairs with woven straw.

When they told me they would give me a loan without a guarantee, I thought it was not true, but now I'm happy because I have worked seven times with the program of Confianza: Word of women. I invested my first loan of 400 soles in the sale of alfalfa flour, now I have my grocery and also a small farm with guinea pigs.
In my group, we are eight persons and we are all responsible, we know each other well: who is working and who is not working. This work provides us with additional incomes that improve our quality of life, so the word of a woman has a great value.
