Ana Patricia

For three years, Ana, on the left in the photo, has been contributing to the cost of the education of her best friend, Cynthia, on the right in the photo. Ana has worked as the manager of a store for one year, and with great commitment, supports Cynthia in continuing to pursue her goals. Cynthia is in the final year for a degree in environmental engineering, and after years of effort, is in the final stage of her professional development. It is worth noting that Ana has been a Kiva borrower for two years, demonstrating responsibility and punctuality in her payments, which underscore her commitment.

For her part, Cynthia maintains an excellent academic record, participates actively in projects, and shares her story to motivate other students to not abandon their studies. Thanks to support from Kiva, Cynthia has been able to progress toward her degree and to maintain her employment, where she applies her knowledge. However, the income of both of them is not sufficient to cover the cost of the new cycle of classes.

Therefore, Ana requests a new educational loan that will permit Cynthia to complete he degree and consolidate her professional future. Cynthia, grateful for the opportunity, says, "This support represents the opportunity to bring to a close a chapter that has demanded a great deal of effort from me. I am committed to completing my studies and giving back for this opportunity by making a positive impact on my community. Thank you very much."
