Matilde Lencinas, who has lived in Buenos Aires her entire life, owns her own cosmetics business, a line she launched thirty years ago. She currently sells her products directly out of her home and to other vendors as well. Lencinas first obtained a loan from Protagonizar, a Buenos Aires microfinance lender founded by Jesuits, last year and has enjoyed her experience with the agency so far. At work, Lencinas especially enjoys her interactions with customers, who are mostly comprised of young students, and the independence she maintains as the owner of her business.
