Kenia Yalixa's story
Meet Kenia, a 36-year-old woman who has a common-law marriage and a child. She and her family live in an urban area where they suffer from public lighting. She has a business selling clothing and also receives remittances from abroad. At the moment, she has visited the nearest MiCrédito office with the goal of applying for a Kiva loan which will enable her to buy cement, sand, and paint. With these materials, she will carry out construction of the walls. One of her plans is to build a porch.
