Edgar Joel's story

Happy and grateful, Edgar is a microentrepreneur who some time ago had the opportunity to be benefitted by a loan from these two institutions to improve the barbering area and provide better service. Today, he is proud because he has his own source of income to get his large family ahead, composed of his partner and four children.

Today, Edgar has again approached the Kiva lenders to ask for a loan, with which he plans to purchase hair clippers, scissors, talcum powder, and a barber chair, in this way he will continue his trade. Edgar dreams of having a larger space with a lot of comforts for his customers.
