A loan helped to buy notebooks, backpacks, and pencils amongst other school supplies.


Ivette Elizabeth's story

Ivette is a very hard-working woman, who at 39 years of age has been able to get her three children ahead thanks to her dynamism as a vendor. These days, she has a bookstore, a business into which she has put all her effort to make it grow. She is an independent and enterprising woman. Her children are her principal motivation to be better every day.

She has appealed for a Kiva loan along with MiCredito because this time of the year is crucial for her bookstore given that the school year is starting. Because of this, she needs to invest in the purchase of notebooks, backpacks and pencils amongst other school supplies. In the future, she would like to be able to venture into other businesses.
