Rosa Cardenas is 45 years old. She is a woman with Venezuelan nationality. She has lived in Ibarra for more than a year. She is currently a refugee from her country, and she has been able to get settled, earning a living as a seamstress in an independent way.
Thanks to her persistence, Rosa has been able to get sewing machines which allowed her to help her family to have better income and, at the same time, improve her children's living conditions.
In view of requests for various sewing services, she currently needs to get an additional sewing machine, to be able to fulfil the demand and so diversify her business.
Thanks to Kiva and your help, Rosa will be able to overcome the obstacles that are constantly presented to her and, at the same time, improve her family's finances.
