Loan Progress Update
 
Entrepreneur: Mujeres Activos Group
Location: Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

Teresita Silverio is the owner of a "colmado" which is a small convinience store and also the group coordinator for the group called Mujeres Activas. Teresita used this Kiva loan to purchase a variety of things in her store including plaintains and vegetables. Teresita has been with her husband Patoloto for about 28 years now. Teresita is not sure right now if she is going to get another loan but will definitely consider it. She said her last loan which was for 8000 pesos (about $225 USD) helped her business 100% and would like to thank Kiva lenders for what they are doing. Pictured is Teresita in her colmado.

On behalf of Teresita Silverio, Mujeres Activas, and all of us here at Esperanza International, thanks for your support!
