“I am independent… and if I am independent, I can do anything that I want at any time.”
- Lindiwe, juice shop business owner, Zimbabwe
With the support of 11 people through Kiva, Lindiwe now runs three successful businesses in her community. But her true passion — mentoring and training other local women — is what drives her success. Lindiwe wants to employ other women and be a role model who shows them what is possible when they persevere. Alongside her business success, Lindiwe has seen a change in how she feels about herself, and her standing in her community. You can help us support more women like Lindiwe with the financial resources they need to thrive.
“We all need a hand sometimes.”
- Erica, Kiva supporter
