   		&lt;/a&gt;
   		   		   		&lt;b&gt;$875 of $1,025 raised.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

   			Started raising funds on May 3, 2013
   			&lt;br/&gt;
   		   		&lt;br/&gt;
   			Alvaro David is a young entrepreneur, a person from El Sauce by birth and in his heart, and a very responsible father who puts his family first.

He graduated as a teacher of primary education because from early childhood, he wanted to offer classes and teach others to read and write, so that they could become respectable people.

Today, Alvaro David is director of a studies center located in an outlying area of the city, having been promoted to this responsible position after many years of performing good work.

Thanks to his own efforts, Alvaro David acquired a piece of land on the edge of this municipality where he began to construct his own house. He has been expanding it over a period of years.

For the purpose of constructing a room to provide better conditions for himself and his family, Alvaro David is soliciting a loan through Ceprodel to purchase bricks, cement, sand, zinc sheets, and rafters, and to pay construction workers.

He hopes and trusts in God that Kiva investors, through Ceprodel, will finance this loan so that he can achieve his objective. Alvaro David will remain eternally grateful for this unconditional help for people of scarce resources.

   			Cesar has lived in the municipality of Managua with his family for the past 58 years. He has worked as hygienist for a state company for the past 20 years. He is a widower with one person under his care. He is requesting a loan from Kiva partner CEPRODEL to pay for construction materials like sand, cement and bricks to put up a new wall, since the current one is in bad condition and Cesar needs to repair it to make his home safer. He is requesting this loan to be able to improve his family&#039;s standard of living and awaits the support from organizations like this one that helps people with few economic resources, since his salary is only enough for sustenance.

   			Wilfredo is a 48-year-old gentleman who is married and comes from the municipality of El Sauce. He is the father of two daughters. He graduated as an Environmental Engineer, because he is passionate about ecology and plants. 

He currently works as director of the training division of a private institution, where he gives talks on topics related to the environment. 

One of his great dreams is to see his two daughters educated and to have a house with all of the conditions to give his family a dignified life. For this reason he works hard day by day to carry out his work well and keep his job for many years. 

Due to the low salaries earned in Nicaragua, people often need loans so that they can achieve their dreams. For this reason he is requesting a loan from Ceprodel and asking for support from the Kiva investors so that he can improve the floor of his home. With the loan he will buy ceramic tile and cement and pay for labor.

   			Fauto lives in a suburb of the city of Managua, Nicaragua. He has been working for the city as a hygienist for three years. He is an honest person, of good moral values, responsible, and married with two children in his care and his wife supports him in the care of their children as she is a housewife.

Fauto came to Ceprodel to ask for a loan in order to build an extension to a room. He will use the loan to buy materials such as blocks, zinc, cement and sand.

With this funding he will invest by expanding his home to offer better comfort and living conditions to his family, because without this support that Kiva offers through Ceprodel he could not make these improvements.

   		&lt;/a&gt;
   		   		   		&lt;b&gt;$275 of $1,000 raised.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

   		   		&lt;br/&gt;
   			Young Luis Carlos is a person with good moral values and good habits. He is hard-working and responsible. He has been working for seven years, and he is currently a security guard in one of the state universities. He is single and cares for his parents.

The young man, Luis Carlos, turned to CEPRODEL with the objective of requesting a loan to make changes to his roof since the rain is coming. He will invest this loan in purchasing corrugated galvanized iron sheets and paying for labor.

He is grateful to CEPRODEL and Kiva for the support they can offer him by granting this financing which will help him to improve his family’s quality of life.

   			Juan Francisco lives in the city of Managua. For the past 12 years he has worked as a security guard at a shopping centre in Managua. 

Juan is requesting a Kiva loan to purchase corrugated metal roofing and wood to re-do the roof on his home. The roof is in bad shape and with the arrival of winter it will begin to leak. 

He is also very grateful for the loans he has received. He used them to build his home and provide his family with more comfortable living conditions.
