A loan helped to buy quarry stone, sand, zinc, and cement to refurbish the kitchen area.


Yaoska Del Socorro's story

This is Yaoska, a woman who lives with her husband and daughter in an urban area where they do not have daily access to drinkable water. Yaoska and her husband work together to improve their quality of life.

Currently, she has a kitchen that is partially enclosed with deteriorating zinc, and in the rainy season it is difficult to cook the food.

Given her needs, she has turned to loans from Kiva at MiCrédito to buy quarry stone, sand, zinc, and cement to refurbish the kitchen area. Her greatest wish is to have a completely enclosed and fully furnished home.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Kristin Fisher.

It includes access to short-term emergency loans.
