Mr. Celso Rojas lives with his wife in his own home in the San Pedro neighborhood in the city of La Paz. Mr. Rojas works as an urban taxi driver. The vehicle which he uses for work is deteriorating due to its age and the constant repairs that it needs are impeding his ability to work normally.
The loan would be used to buy a used vehicle that is worth $2,500, of which IMPRO is financing $1,475 with their own funds, so he is requesting a loan for the remainder of the amount through KIVA. This is the tenth time that he requests a loan and the socioeconomic analysis qualifies him to receive a loan. It is worth mentioning that the previous loans were paid back within their established terms without any problems.

Translated from Spanish by Mindy Burns, Kiva volunteer.



El señor Celso Rojas vive en casa propia en la zona de San Pedro de la Ciudad de La Paz con su esposa, el señor Celso trabaja como chofer de taxi urbano.
El vehiculo con el que trabaja esta deteriorado por su antigüedad y las constantes reparaciones que necesita impiden que pueda realizar su trabajo con normalidad.
El crédito solicitado será destinado como parte de la compra de un vehiculo a medio uso. El valor total del vehiculo es de $2,500 de los cuales IMPRO está financiando $1,475 con fondos propios y la diferencia está siendo solicitada a través de KIVA.
Esta es la décima ocasión que solicita un préstamo y el análisis socioeconómico realizado los califica favorablemente y puede acceder a un crédito. Cabe mencionar que los préstamos anteriores fueron cancelados en sus plazos establecidos sin problema alguno.
