Elva Cecilia

Elva is 70 years old. She is very humble and hard-working. She lives with her family in the city of Ibarra, in the province of Imbabura.

For 30 years, Elva has worked buying and selling footwear. At one time, she also made shoes together with her husband. She carries out these activities with the goal of having economic income and helping with the household expenses.

Elva is applying for a loan for the purchase of merchandise such as shoes for ladies, gentlemen, and children that are in style and to the liking of each customer so that her sales will increase and she will have a good profit margin.

Elva is very grateful for the help that Kiva offers her, since the income that she is going to generate will help to improve her quality of life.
