We have finished reimbursing the first loan that you gave us. We are very pleased about that and have come to ask you to renew the loan. With the sum you loaned us, we managed to work the whole year and we were able to pay our children's school fees.



As you know, our eco-village is off in the country and hard to reach. Thanks to the Kiva loan we were able to face our children's school year with serenity and less anguish. The profit that we made from our former business sustained us.



Although we did not manage to put by any savings, we were at least able to cater for the basic needs of our families. Thus, we intend to take up a business selling different products that are produced here and sell the utensils that the inhabitants need.

Nous avons fini de rembourser le premier prêt que vous nous avez accordé. Nous sommes très satisfaites et sommes venues demander à ce que cela soit renouveler, car avec ce que vous nous avez preté, nous sommes parvenues à travailler pendant toute l'année et nous avons réussi à aider nos enfant à prendre en charge leur scolarité sur le continent; Comme vous le savez, notre écovillage est très enclavé et l'accès est très difficile. C'est grâce au prêt que Kiva nous a accordé que nous avons affronter l'année scolaire de nos enfants avec beaucoup de sérénité et moins d'angoisse. Les bénéfices que nous avons tiré de l'activité précèdante nous a beaucoup soutenu. Bien que nous ne sommes pas parvenues à faire des économies; nous avons quand même pu faire face aux besoins élémentaire de nos familles. Nous comptons donc reprendre le commerce des différents produits que sont transformés ici et de vendre des ustensiles dont les populations ont besoin.
