Doris is a 36-year-old single mother who lives with her 8-year-old daughter, her mother, and her youngest sister in the town of Saltur, district of Zaña, located some 30 minutes from the city of Chiclayo.


She owns a small in-home general store, where she sells drinks and candy. This business has yielded great results for her, and she has been able to expand it little by little. This is her family’s sole source of income.
She would like to finish expanding her business by purchasing provisions and personal care products (soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc.). For this reason, she is requesting her first loan of 500.00 PEN from our institute.


Her greatest wish is to be able to save enough money to give her daughter a good education, as well as offer her mother a better quality of life. Doris is well-known and esteemed by her neighbors, who view her as a responsible woman who cares about her family’s well-being.

Gracias al préstamo que obtuvo ya tiene más productos que ofrecer por lo que su clientela también ha aumentado, con las ganancias de su negocio ha comprado una vitrina en la que exhibe sus productos y ahora está pensando en comprarse un andamio.

Doris se encuentra muy feliz y agradecida con los prestamistas de Kiva porque gracias a ellos pudo impulsar y ampliar su negocio.
