A loan helped to buy a metal silo for corn storage.


Bartola Elizabeth's story

Bartola only attended school through the ninth grade, due to economic difficulties. She is the single mother of a daughter. She lives with her parents and siblings because at this time she has no house.

Bartola works as a sales clerk in a store. She also participates helping her father cultivate and harvest the corn. The income with which she provides for her daughter comes from these two jobs.

As a single mom she needs the support of a loan to buy a metal silo to store corn, as the one they have now is very small.

Her dream is to provide for her daughter and give her an education through pure effort and hard work.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Pamela Allyn.


This loan is special because:

It supports single mothers and other vulnerable women.
