A loan helped to buy fruit and 100 pound bags of sugar.


Damaris Del Carmen's story

Many years ago Damaris started to help her mother with the sale of soft drinks. In time she was becoming in love with this type of work, and she devotes herself, in an independent manner, to the sale of food and soft drinks. Damaris struggles day to day to generate earnings and to support her children because she is a single mother.

In order to continue improving her business, she has knocked on the doors of MiCrédito for the first time in order to get a Kiva loan to buy fruit and 100 pound bags of sugar. With this investment she will be able to continue making soft drinks. Ultimately she dreams of having a well-known eatery.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Ginny Kalish.
