Elsa Irene

Elsa is grateful for the previous support she received from Kiva. She is a 52-year-old woman who resides in the rural community of Pispud, which is in the parish of Julio Andrade. Elsa continues to engage in various farming activities to sustain her household. She is the head of her family since she does not live with the father of her children, who are now adults and help with maintaining the crops and caring for the farm animals.

Elsa’s primary source of income is derived from cultivating super potatoes on a plot of land that she has borrowed. In the future, she hopes to buy her own land where she can work and generate more income. With continued financial support, Elsa will buy farming supplies and seed potatoes. By taking good care of her crops, she expects to generate more profits, which would improve her living conditions and allow her family to live more comfortably.
