Handicrafts have always been part of her life: she started making trinkets and
decorative items when she was just ten years old. Creating bracelets and necklaces
and designing Christmas decorations was a childhood hobby and, above all, a pretty
gift for members of her family.

Now, 27 years later, this childhood pastime has become a business that has led her to
exhibit her creations at craft fairs in the VII Maule region, the Chilean municipality
where she lives.
She never stopped making handicrafts, not even when she was studying
accountancy, or afterwards, when she worked for four years in a supermarket.

2. That was when she decided to be an entrepreneur, to be her own boss. And what
better way of making the most of her years of experience and her already extensive
knowhow in the design of costume jewelry and decorations. That was how “Artesanía
Paola” and her career as a micro-entrepreneur were born.
In 2010, her mother encouraged her to reach out to Fondo Esperanza, BBVA
Microfinance Foundation’s institution in Chile. As part of the “Villa Unida” lending
group, and with the loans the institution has given her, she bought materials for her
business.
“You have to learn how to be responsible, financing helps you have a clear goal of
what you want. There are people who don’t have the capacity to get a loan, Fondo
Esperanza believes in you and gives you that opportunity”, explains Paola.

That support, together with her drive to get on and her day-to-day hard work, has
enabled her to sell her products at trade fairs from Santiago de Chile to Los Ángeles.
“I don’t stay at home waiting for someone to sort out my life. I go out and look for the
opportunity”, she declares.
