Telma Del Socorro's story

Telma is an entrepreneurial woman who knows how to combine her housewife responsibilities with her retail business.

After five years of effort, she managed to get her grocery store to flourish through the support of Kiva and MiCrédito, improving her inventory and generating a greater income. Thanks to her determination, she has achieved a better quality of life and keeps putting faith in her growth.

Now, Telma is requesting a new loan to buy staple foods and fizzy drinks for her grocery store as well as clothes and cosmetics. Through this loan, she hopes to attract more customers, increase her earnings and strengthen her financial stability.

Through the support of her daughter and her perseverance, Telma continues to show that women have a key role in business and their financial independence.
