Maria Susana's story

Susana is a loving and indulgent grandmother who lives with her husband in a humble house of her own. The passage of time and the hard physical work her husband did took its toll and now he cannot work, leaving the weight of supporting the household all on Susana.

Thanks to her work selling cosmetics and other household items, she has earned the income to cover the purchase of her husband's medicines and pay for the home expenses.

Susana is looking to increase the merchandise during the season to generate more sales, so she is requesting a Kiva loan to offer her regular and new customers quality merchandise. 

In the future, Susana hopes to have dedicated space to sell the merchandise so she can become a well-known business owner in her area and generate economic stability for her family.
