Alba Lucia's story
Alba is a model and hardworking mother. She is 59 years old and lives with her family in the city of Tulcán, a sector well-known economically for farming, animal raising, and sales.
Alba works selling strawberries cream, gelatin with cream, potato and plantain ojuelos informally from a cart. Her workplace is a corner of the market in the sector where she lives. She has had a good reception and her customers visit her daily to eat her products. It is an activity which has allowed her to feel useful and generate income to contribute to her household.
Alba asks for a loan to purchase raw materials such as strawberries, cream, sugar, glasses, potatoes, plantains, and other supplies for the preparation of the different products she offers. They have a delicious flavor and are adjusted to her customers' palates. Sales continue increasing, so the business is managing to be more stable and generate a good profit margin.
Alba and her family are very grateful for the help and trust Kiva offers her.
