Miramar Femenina- Group 4

Thank you for your loan. It has been disbursed to the Miramar Femenina- Group 4 group, consisting of Rosa Dishmey, Senobia Figaro, Florencia Azor Dishmey, Ana Kelly Jackson, Ramona Jhonson Jackson by Esperanza International, a partner of HOPE International in Dominican Republic. We are excited to watch this business grow. Over the next 6 months, Esperanza International, a partner of HOPE International will be collecting repayments from this entrepreneur and posting progress updates on the Kiva website.

I am happy to write that Rosa Dishmey has finished repayments on her tenth loan from Esperanza. After successfully, repaying her first nine loans this should come as no surprise, because at no point during her days with Esperanza has she ever had a problem investing in her business and realizing profits to pay back her loan.

She has been thriving in the organic medicine business. This may seem as a strange business to be in, but Rosa swears by its success. She recognized there was a demand for these medicines, but there were very few sellers. This seemed very strange to her because the products are expensive, and there were opportunities for a substantial profit. She became part of this industry and has never looked back. It is a true testament of her ingenuity as an entrepreneur.

As always, she is looking for ways to invest and grow her business, and she is very optimistic for the future. One of the major affects of her business growth has been the addition of several necessities for her home. Proudly, she told me she had installed a freezer, which was a big step for her. She has also added some minor things such as curtains and a fan to make her home more comfortable. It is very exciting to listen to stories such as hers and see the positive effect these loans are having on people like her.
