Since Agustina was young she worked with a glazier
and she learned to make cut glass. The
training took some time but when she was ready, she decided to start her own
business. She started with few materials in their house. One of the problems faced by Ms. Augustina was
the lack of materials and i she had to ask her customers to wait.
Agustina says, "With the loans from Compartamos’ loans I have been able to
purchase the necessary material in advance.”
"The successful moments in the business were when I acquired a
larger facility, I was able to buy more machinery and the truck to move all the
material" Agustina says.
In the future she plans to open more stores,
train herself in topics related to her business, to hire more employees,
to buy more machinery and to become a distributor
of aluminum and hardware.
