Mirtha Rosa

Doña Mirtha is a 41-year-old micro-entrepreneur. She is married and the mother of two children. Every day she goes out early from her home toward the market where she sells beef and beef bones. She has a decade of experience in this field and she is known in the place where she makes her sales.

Mirtha has visited the closest MiCrédito office with the aim of opting for a Kiva loan in order to buy beef in bulk to meet customer demand and to thus guarantee more income. Mirtha hopes to be self sufficient in the future, while she works hard to grow her business.
