A loan helped a member to buy grocery merchandise.


Barrios Altos Group's story

Idolia is 31 years old, married, and has three small children that are still in elementary school. She is part of the group “Barrios Altos”, consisting of six members, neighbors from the zone where she lives. 10 years ago she began selling groceries from a small area in her own home with the goal of getting ahead and supporting her husband with the household expenses. One of Idolia´s dreams is to see her children become professionals. She requested this loan to buy merchandise and increase her stock. She is very grateful to the Kiva investors to trust her. Idolia is the second person on the left wearing a pink shirt and turquoise leggings.

In this group: Idolia, Marianne Isabel, Delia Consuelo, Anni Mayumi, Wilma, Lucila
