Hipatia Janeth's story

Hypatia is a young, hard-working woman with a loving, caring, and close-knit family who taught her about values ​​and honest work. This made her an entrepreneur who began her business selling accessories and items for vehicles, renting a shop in the center of the city. To obtain greater profits from her work, Hipatia is going to bring her merchandise directly to other cities, making her prices competitive in the markets where she works.

Hipatia wants to increase her working capital, and so she requests a Kiva loan. In this way, she will be able to have greater economic stability with the support of her family.
