Yrma

Yrma is a hardworking woman and very dedicated to her work and to her family. She is mother of 3 children and together with her husband they acquired a home where they live and work at the same time. In the past, her life as a young mother limited from her activities, but she soon found a way to break through those limits and set up her home inside of a restaurant, where the family has been working for the past 20 years. She didn't have to leave her children, but quite the opposite, they were of great support to her, together working to make their business one of the best in their district. In addition, what was most attracted customers to this restaurant was Yrmas delicious cooking, and thanks to the great demand they were able to improve and expand their business. But with the passage of time it has been deteriorating and needs renovations. She dreams of having a restaurant that is well known and prestigious, and to attain that dream she needs significant investments, given that renovations are so costly. She contacted MFP (Kiva Field Partner) and they are helping her to make her dreams a reality and she hopes that with the passing years she will be a permanent client. Yrma has planned to invest 3000 soles in the roof renovations of her business. The poor state of the roof impedes adequate service and the ambiance that her clients deserve.

En el pasado, su papel de joven madre la limitó a realizar algunas actividades, pero encontró la manera de romper los límites e instaló en su casa un restaurante, donde toda la familia trabaja desde hace 20 años y no tuvo que descuidar la atención de sus hijos, por el contrario, ellos fueron de gran apoyo, logrando juntos, que su negocio sea uno de los más concurridos en su distrito. Además, lo que atrajo a las personas a este restaurante fue la deliciosa sazón de Yrma, y gracias a la demanda pudieron mejorar y ampliar su local, el cual por el pasar de los años se ha ido deteriorando y necesita remodelaciones, pues desea tener un restaurante reconocido y prestigioso, y para conseguirlo requiere de mucha inversión pues las remodelaciones son muy costosas. El iniciar este crédito con MFP la está ayudando a hacer sus deseos realidad, y espera que con el trascurrir de los años pueda ser una cliente permanente.
