Ermanda has dedicated herself to the sale of beauty products for the past year. She entered into this business because some of her relatives recommended it, as they are doing the same thing, and it is going well for them.


Previously, she sold sweets and candies as a traveling sales person. She had done this work nearly all her life but now she prefers not to go out and walk so much. The business of beauty products allows her to work from home, and for that reason, she wants to continue with this work and go about increasing it.


Ermanda is a single mother, but her only child is grown and she contributes to cover the household expenses.


In another aspect, she has already served one year as president of the community township. This group came together five years ago starting with twenty-six participating partners that lived in the same neighborhood. Now they are only eleven because little by little some partners left the group as they moved to another district, in another city. In general they say that all of the business has been picking up since they started with the loans from EDAPROSPO, “before we didn’t know” much about how to manage a good business, but now we are learning.

Translated from Spanish by Andrea Kellogg, Kiva Volunteer


Ermanda se dedica a la venta de productos de belleza desde hace un año. Entró a este negocio porque algunos familiares suyos se lo aconsejaron por lo mismo que ellos se dedicaban a esto y les iba muy bien.
Anteriormente vendía golosinas y caramelos como ambulante, siendo su trabajo casi toda su vida, pero ahora prefiere no salir a la calle y andar tanto; el negocio de productos de belleza le permite trabajar desde su casa, por lo que quiere seguir en este comercio e ir agrandándolo.

Ermanda es madre soltera, pero su único hijo ya tiene años; ella contribuye cubriendo los gastos del hogar.

Por otro lado, ya lleva un año siendo presidente de su Alcancía Comunal. Este grupo se juntó hace cinco años, empezando con veintiséis socias que vivían todas en el mismo vecindario. Ahora son solamente once, porque poco a poco algunas socias dejaron el grupo ya que se mudaban a otro distrito, en otra ciudad. En general dicen que el comercio de todas ha ido levantándose desde que empezaron con los préstamos de EDAPROSPO, “antes no sabíamos” mucho sobre como conducir bien un negocio, pero ahora han ido aprendido bastante.

Update on your loan administered by Kiva Field Partner EDAPROSPO
 
Entrepreneur: La Vecindad Del Cinco Group
Location: Location Undisclosed, Peru

During a routine audit of Field Partner EDAPROSPO, Kiva discovered a number of discrepancies between the information posted to the Kiva website and what actually occurred on the ground. Specifically, many loans uploaded to the website before December 2008 contain inaccurate loan amounts, terms and/or loan uses.

This is in violation of Kiva policy, and as such, as soon as we were alerted to a possible violation we placed EDAPROSPO on "pause." After placing them on pause, Kiva proceeded to execute a complete verification of every loan EDAPROSPO posted to the Kiva website; in total we examined 757 loans.

As a result of our audit, we have discovered that 52% of the loans posted to the Kiva website by field partner EDAPROSPO contain data inaccuracies. 98% of these inaccuracies pertain to loans posted to the Kiva website before December 2008, when EDAPROSPO was under a different management team. After significant management turnover at the end of 2008, almost all loans on the Kiva website contain complete and accurate information and these loans comprise only 2% of the total discovered inaccuracies.

You are receiving this email as we wanted to alert you that, after our verification efforts, Kiva cannot confirm that the specific loan you funded was actually disbursed. We can, however, confirm that the person you lent to is an EDAPROSPO borrower. Because EDAPROSPO has decided to guarantee all loans made on Kiva, you have continued to receive repayments on schedule.

Because the new management team has proven that they are committed to providing accurate and transparent information to the Kiva website, and because they have repaid almost all of the inaccurate loans on-time, Kiva has decided to re-open the Kiva-EDAPROSPO relationship. During this new "pilot" phase on Kiva, we will be working closely with the new EDAPROSPO team, including their internal and external auditors, to continually verify new EDAPROSPO loans posted to Kiva, and if we are alerted to any new inaccuracies we will pause their relationship with Kiva and follow-up accordingly.

If you have any questions, please visit Kiva's Help Center at http://www.kiva.org/about/help.
