Yenny Carolina's story

Yenny is the 24-year-old head of her household who works every day at her traditional restaurant in an area in the capital of the country. She is the mother of two girls who are 5 and 3 years old whom she loves dearly. Her main family goal is to guarantee them a quality education.

Yenny discovered her talent in the kitchen working in a community restaurant as a chef's assistant. She learned a lot of recipes and cooking secrets there, so she didn't hesitate to start her own business.

Currently, she is applying for her first Kiva loan through the Fundación Mario Santo Domingo to buy primary ingredients, such as rice, meat, legumes, fruit, and vegetables, etc., so that she can guarantee an increase in her production.

In the future, Yenny wants to establish several sales locations. Please support her with a loan today!
