Raquel Mercedes, 31, is married and has a minor child. She is a native of Leon, a place that is located in the western part of the county. She is known to be a hardworking and responsible woman who has a desire for personal success. In her spare time, she enjoys recreational activities with her small son, such as going to the park, to the movies, and spending quality time with him. Unfortunately, due to a lack of financial resources, she has had to work ever since she was very young to help with the household expenses.
Thanks to her spirit and desire to get ahead, she has a pharmacy business that is located in her town. Her goal for this loan is to invest in construction materials such as: corrugated metal roofing material, cement, cement blocks, sand, lime, wood and beams to repair the roof of her house, because winter is coming and she needs to provide comfort and security to her little one and her family. Raquel Mercedes appreciates the assistance that the Kiva lenders provide to low-income people in poor countries such as Nicaragua, so that they can have a means of decent work.
