A loan helped to buy furniture and equipment for her aesthetics salon.


Yvana Patricia's story

Yvana is an enterprising woman who is 21 years old. She lives in the city of Esmeraldas with her partner and her six-month-old daughter.

Yvana works independently by administering aesthetics treatments. She wants to advertise her skills as an aesthetician and create jobs, so she is requesting a Kiva loan in order to grow her business. Yvana will buy equipment and furniture that she needs to open her own shop.

She is very happy to have the support from Kiva so that she can develop her business and promote her personal growth.
