Brenda Nohemí Poz

Thank you for your loan. It has been disbursed to Brenda Nohemí Poz by Friendship Bridge in Guatemala. We are excited to watch this business grow. Over the next 12 - 18 months, Friendship Bridge will be collecting repayments from this entrepreneur and posting progress updates on the Kiva website.

Brenda has had a busy year, with her most exciting news being the recent birth of her third child. Saulo, named after his father, was born just fifteen days ago and mother and baby are doing well. Aside from the new addition to the family, Brenda reports that her business has been doing really well. She used her loan to help pay for additional typewriters, which she uses for the typing lessons she teaches. Typing skills are in high demand so Brenda never has a shortage of clients. Accordingly, repayment of her loan has been going very well and she will pay it off in full very shortly.

Brenda is very grateful for the loan she received and says that is has definitely helped her improve her business and her life. Without the help of the loan, she was unable to purchase additional typewriters and was limited in expanding her business to meet the growing demand for typing lessons.

She also reports that she has really benefitted from the informal education programs that Friendship Bridge offers with their loan programs. She says that she has learned a lot that she has been able to apply to more successfully expand her business. Overall, Brenda says that she dreams of prospering more and hopes that her children will be successful in life.
