A loan helped to purchase rice, sugar, canned products, coffee, soft drinks, oil, and other products to expand her microbusiness.


Alejandra Vanessa's story

Alejandra is a young woman who inherited a store from her mother, where she sells products for daily consumption. Her business is now 8 years old. She has a child and lives with her mother, given that her spouse is out of the country and supports her monthly with remittances to pay some of the family expenses.

Her dream is to see her store grow because this is the strong arm her family has to get ahead. For this, she has visited MiCrédito to ask for a Kiva loan, with which she wants to purchase rice, sugar, canned products, coffee, soft drinks, oil, and other products to expand her microbusiness. Her next goal is to make improvements to her home and to expand her business more.
