A loan helped to buy a cow to fatten it and sell it at a better price.


Gloria Del Carmen's story

Gloria studied up until sixth grade of basic education. She lives with her partner who is a bricklayer and with their 3 children.

Gloria has been selling pupusas [stuffed corn tortillas] and soft drinks for approximately 3 years. She sells weekends from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. She also looks after cattle.

She needs a loan to buy a cow to fatten it and sell it at a better price.

She dreams of having a stable business that allows her to have income to cover her home expenses and give an education to her children

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer E. Power.


This loan is special because:

It helps rural farmers and fishermen, while teaching sustainable agricultural practices.
