Socorro Janneth

Socorro is 48 years old. She lives with her family in the parish of San Antonio, which belongs to the city of Ibarra, characterized by its tradition of craft and furniture production in the wooden colonial style, in addition to its tourist and culinary sectors. It is located in northern Ecuador.

Socorro has worked for three years as a domestic employee. Socorro began with this activity because she wanted to bring a higher income to her house and be independent. Socorro plans to use this business to be more financially stable and to be able to give her family the best life possible. Socorro believes customer service is very important for entrepreneurs. 

Socorro is applying for a loan of 2,050 dollars with which she will purchase equipment and materials for the cleaning service to offer a better cleaning service. With this loan, Socorro will generate a greater level of income and it will help her stabilize herself financially, with a future projection of a cleaning service with better equipment. Socorro is very grateful for the help and trust Kiva offers her.
