Marsia Emira

At 40 years old, Marsia, a humble cattle rancher, feels very blessed and grateful to God for everything God has given to her. She has gone through difficult times in her life, but with God's guidance, she has managed to overcome each obstacle little by little.

Marsia lives with her children and her sister in a small family home. Her partner is in another country trying to send money to their children to improve their lives. She has been raising dairy cattle for more than 10 years. She currently has five beef cows and four dairy cows which produce a good amount of milk to sell.

As the price of these products increases, Marsia seeks to produce more. For this reason, she is applying for a Kiva loan to purchase an additional dairy cow and feed for her animals. She will obtain greater profitability from her agricultural work.

Marsia is a hard-working mother who, through honest work, seeks to provide a better quality of life for her children and to have the resources, in the future, to purchase her own cattle ranch.
