Eliana Virginia's story

Eliana is 29 years old, maintains a consensual union and from this relationship has a one year old girl. Her spouse's occupation is a fisherman for one of the fishing company in their locality. They live in the city of Manta, known for its beautiful beaches that are visited throughout the year.

She is a very humble woman who, in spite of the difficult situation she is going through decided to start a business in order to generate a stable income. With the support of her sister and cousin they started a business selling exquisite hamburgers. She works hard every night to establish her own business. That is why she is requesting a Kiva loan in order to open a shop and revive her business.

This loan will help to invest in the purchase of supplies such as meat, breads, sauces, drinks and other things. Her dream is for her business to prosper and to have her own home.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Lorraine Valarino.
