A loan helped to buy a cow in order to obtain milk to make and sell cheeses.


Silvia Nohemy's story

Silvia is 36 years old. She attended school until the ninth grade. Her partner works in agriculture and masonry. Their children are in school.

Silvia has experience selling tortillas. She learned this out of the economic necessity her family has. She also sells fresh cheese and grows staple grains.

She needs this loan to buy a cow in order to obtain milk to make and sell cheeses. Her dream is to expand her house so that her family can live comfortably.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Laurie Hiller.


This loan is special because:

It helps rural farmers and fishermen, while teaching good environmental practices.
