Mercedes is 55 years old and is married with five children, all of whom are independent. She sells cooked food from the front porch of her home in the evenings. Her husband is a teacher.

Mercedes has been working with Kiva partner Manuela Ramos for ten years and is a member of the communal bank “Virgen de la Natividad.” She plans to invest this loan of 1,200 soles in rice, sugar, and oil for her restaurant business.

Mercedes has always been an active member of her communal bank and has always made her loan payments on time. With the help of her loans and her business venture, Mercedes has been able to contribute to paying household expenses. Mercedes’ dream is to build her own restaurant. At the moment, she has only one table to accommodate her customers.
