A loan helped to buy corn, beans, rice, sugar, oil, and other staple products to continue selling.


María Del Carmen's story

María has a high school education. She is a single mother and her 7 year old son is in school.

María has had a store for 5 years, and she started the business because she couldn't find stable employment in the area. She also fattens pigs to sell to earn profits.

María needs a loan to buy corn, beans, rice, sugar, oil, and other staple products to continue selling.

Her dream is to have a bigger store and to watch her son grow up.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Ellen Donohue.
