Fransisco Del Carmen's story

Francisco is a 54-year-old man who works as a security guard to generate an income and bring food home. He has two children who are his greatest motivation. His wife is always present in every decision he makes.

Francisco has always dreamed of improving his house and at this moment the opportunity has presented itself. With the loan he is requesting from Kiva, he intends to buy cement, sand, bricks and stone, and to cover labour costs.

With this important investment he will be able to repair the walls of his house. In the coming years he wants to continue improving the conditions of his home.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer E. Power.
