A loan helped to buy staple goods for resale.


Fernando's story

This borrower is 37 years old and a widower with two children who are 11 and 5 years old. They both attend school and the borrower has no other dependents. He lives in company housing and works as a track layer.

The loan will be used to buy staple goods such as peanuts, and field rice. This is his third loan, and he used the previous one for the same purpose.

His main dream is to keep growing his business and to ensure his children's education through secondary school.

Translated from Portuguese by Kiva volunteer Marcia Margolis.


This loan is special because:

It provides capital in underserved areas.
