A loan of $2,000 helps to buy construction materials and repair his house.
Marcos Josue's story
Marcos is a teacher who works at a high school. He lives with his mother, who owns the house, and receives support from his sister, who sends him remittances.
His home had issues due to a deteriorated roof that allowed water to enter when it rained, affecting his belongings and peace of mind. Previously, the bathroom was located outside, which made daily activities difficult. This situation directly impacted his wellbeing and quality of life. Marcos sought a solution to have a safer and more functional home.
Marcos seeks a Kiva loan, through MiCrédito, which he plans to use to buy construction materials and repair his house. In the future, Marcos plans to purchase a motorcycle to make commuting to work easier. His story shows how a loan can transform family life and improve overall quality of life.
