A loan helped to buy paint and polyurethane dyes.


Pedro Emiro's story

Pedro owns a vehicle maintenance and paint workshop in the city of Cartagena de Indias. He is single and his business has allowed him to support himself. He has a great deal of experience with vehicle body and paint work and his business is known for producing quality work.

Pedro’s main customers come from the industrial sector of the city and they send him all types of vehicles for body work repair. Pedro also sells drive belts and offers an installation service for them.

Pedro is completely committed to his business as it provides him with his livelihood. This is why he wants to apply for his first Kiva loan through Fundacion Mario Santo Domingo in order to buy paint and polyurethane dyes.

Pedro’s future goal is to open more workshops which will allow him to improve his income and make progress.

Please support Pedro’s loan.
