Lucy Elizabeth Santibanez Gutierrez

Lucy was born in the Peruvian Highlands and moved to Lima after finishing her schooling. Lucy has many fond memories of living with her family in Ayacucho and spending valuable time together. After moving to Lima she tried to sustain herself by making bracelets and selling them to locals. Lucy says the greatest thing about working for KNOWN SUPPLY is that she can now care for her daughter and meet her basic needs.

DREAMS FOR THE FUTURE

I want to someday own a hat and sweater business. I can make clothes for my family and to sell in the market. I’d also like to pursue a nursing degree.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT PERU

The best thing about Peru is Macchu Pichu! And the food!
