For 6 years Antonia Oviedo sold sandwiches from her house, but her business was really small and despite her intentions to progress, she lacked the resources to do it.

In June 2006 Antonia joined PPC forming a group called “Las Emprendedoras”.  By that time her monthly income amounted to Arg$552. She used her credits to buy a meat slicer and a set of scales. This allowed her to be more efficient thus increasing her production substantially. After a year with PPC and four credits her monthly income increased to Arg$1525 .  Today, her production capacity keeps growing, allowing her to become the lunch provider for many workers of nearby factories.
