Her uncles, orphaned at age seven, began as a way to provide for themselves. They began by selling alpaca items in their village. As a child, Albina only attended one year of school, and dreamed of owning her own business.

She has provided work for up to 15 people at a time. Currently, she employs four nephews and her three children: Reinaldo (b. 1987), Dina (b. 1984) and Esmeralda (b. 1987).
