A loan helped to buy used clothing.


Maria Del Rosario's story

She is a enterprising, dedicated woman who combines her labor as a merchant with her work as a teacher. For more than forty years she has been earning a living selling used clothing. It is a business where she has gained a solid clientele in both the municipality and in the surrounding villages. Besides this she has been a teacher for 16 years, having a stable source of income to support her family.

She is requesting a loan to acquire more used clothing products. This investment will allow her to strengthen her business and continue to support her family.

Her dream is to improve her house and provide a better environment for her loved ones making the most of the income she generates with her effort.

She is sincerely grateful to Kiva for the support provided as this support allows her to continue to grow and reach her goals.
