Alberta is 54 years old; she lives with her children and grandchildren. She always worked in agriculture, but now that she is older she has sold firewood for a year, a business that is going very well, without her having to put in much effort. However, it's hard for her to split the wood, but her children and grandchildren help her with this, so it makes her feel better. In the same way, she is very grateful for her customers who come every morning to buy her firewood, which motivates her to continue working to continue supporting her children and grandchildren with the household costs. Alberta received a loan a year ago; now this is her second loan with Kiva partner MFP. She is grateful to the organization and tries to always maintain her responsibility by making payments. With the requested money, she will increase the amount of firewood that she sells.

Alberta tiene 54 años, vive con sus hijos y sus nietos. Siempre estuvo dedicada a la agricultura, pero ahora que ya es mayor se dedica a la venta de leña desde hace un año, negocio en el cual le va muy bien, sin tener que hacer mucho esfuerzo, aunque lo complicado es rajar las leñas, pero sus hijos y nietos le ayudan en este proceso, lo cual la tiene más tranquila. De la misma manera, se siente muy agradecida con sus clientes que vienen todas las mañanas a comprar su leña, lo que la motiva a seguir trabajando para seguir apoyando a sus hijos y nietos en algunos gastos del hogar. Alberta inicio su crédito hace un año, ahora es su segundo préstamo con MFP, y se muestra agradecida con la institución y trata siempre de corresponder con responsabilidad en sus pagos. Con el dinero solicitado incrementará la cantidad de leña que vende.
