Mr. Juan Elias Garcia owns a taxi (passenger service) business. His cab is working well, but needs to change its tires and some parts in order to do tune up his engine (oil change, filters, gaskets, etc.) Making these repairs will help him provide better service to his customers. Juan Elias has regular customers who use his services daily in the mornings for work transportation and in the afternoons to return home. And, during the hours in between, he drives all over the city of Danli and takes in many other customers. Juan Elias is very happy because his car is generating income, and he hopes to purchase additional cars to use in his taxi service. This is his only source of income and he wishes to improve the quality of his family's life.

Dear Lender,

Thank you for supporting an entrepreneur in Honduras! The message below is from Prisma Honduras S.A., Kiva’s field partner in Honduras. As you may know, all borrowers’ profiles are posted on Kiva’s website with the help of microfinance institutions (MFIs) such as Prisma Honduras.

Prisma Honduras wishes to extend their thanks to all the Kiva lenders, and Kiva staff, who during the financial and political crisis that Honduras has been experiencing have continued to support our clients by funding our loans, even knowing that the situation in Honduras has been difficult since the political crisis in June 2009. Our people have suffered a lot, but they still have the inner strength to keep fighting and overcome the difficulties for the good of their family and because they have no other place to live.

Our country is trying to move beyond the political crisis after the elections of the 29th of November. We hope to continue with the valuable support you give by funding our loans and our people. Our goal is to help our clients achieve a better quality of life, by helping to improve their businesses which can help contribute to their food security and that of their families.

Thanks again for your support. The management and staff at Prisma Honduras wishes you all Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.
