Maria Yuliana's story

María is a 36-year-old single mother, with 3 little ones, ages 13, 9 and 1, who are her reason for getting up very early every day to work. Together they live in their own little house that María has thanks to the support of their parents. To support her home, María dedicates herself to collecting and selling seafood, which she collects in the area where she resides, since it is a fishing area. When she obtains her products, she goes around with it in the nearby communities offering her fresh product at a low cost. This has made Maria known to her customers and she has regular places to deliver her product. María wants to obtain a loan from the Kiva organization to buy a boat, which will allow her to deliver her orders faster. In the future, she dreams of having a consolidated business as a distributor that will help her give her children a higher education so that they can have a different life than hers.
