A loan helped to buy packs of shoes and packets of second-hand clothing, in order to offer more variety to her clients.


Norma Lidia's story

This is Norma, a woman who is always smiling despite the difficulties that she encounters. For three years, she's worked selling second-hand clothing, with the goal of being an independent woman and earning income to get her children ahead. Norma also receives remittances from abroad, which enables her to strengthen her economic income.

With great hopes of growing, she's chosen to take a Kiva loan, with the support of MiCrédito, to buy packs of shoes and packets of second-hand clothing. In this way, she'll offer more variety to her clients.

Norma dreams of improving the conditions of her dwelling.
