Adding to basket
The strength and vision of overcoming are the base of growth for many families. This is how it has been for Maura, a forty-three-year-old woman who lives in the department/state of Chimaltenango. She is married and is the mother of four children (ages 14 to 23). Two of them are still in primary and secondary school while the older two have already finished their education.
Maura has 8 years of experience on her part. Initially she only finished primary school due to her parents' choice, but she went back to school for two years when she got married and then had to stop to care for her young children.
With perseverance, ten years ago she started selling catalog products from orders. Four years ago, she started new businesses such as renting sanitary services, a carwash, and vehicle parking by the hour, day, and night. In addition, she sells vehicles. Her husband and children support this work.
Maura is asking for her first individual loan from Kiva to buy some vehicles. She has a goal of formalizing and growing her businesses, generating better income, and providing a better future for her children.
The Bridge to Success program from Friendship Bridge will be very useful for Maura, since meeting with a business developer will help her to make plans and identify realistic goals. She is happy to build a solid base for growth of her businesses and family development.
Thank you, Kiva lenders!
