Rut in company of her daughters and the microentrepreneurs she serves<\/p><\/div>\n
Rut works as a microfinance officer in Financiera Confianza since 2012. When she applied for this job, she knew that working for the BBVA Microfinance Foundation<\/a>\u2019s entity in Peru could be a great opportunity for her to overcome her personal problems. After her husband abandoned her years before, she had to raise her children all alone<\/strong>, without even having a roof to reside in, or an income to live by. It was her daughters who gave her strength; along with this, her huge desire to move forward pushed her to do the rest: to trust in herself and give it a try.<\/p>\n \u201cI started to be happier and feel eager to work. I told myself: yes, I can\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u201cThere were so many young university students. I was the only older woman and I thought I wouldn\u2019t make it. But they called from Lima and told me that I passed. Until this moment I\u2019ve always felt undervalued, because my husband used to tell me that I\u2019m worth nothing and that I was the worst for him. All of his family would tell me the same thing.\u201d However, from that moment, things began to change. \u201cI started to be happier and feel eager to work. I told myself: yes, I can\u201d, claims Rut, who kindly granted us this interview.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\t\t![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.fundacionmicrofinanzasbbva.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/entrevista-maquetada-2.jpg\")
