Cruz's story

Cruz is a 65 year old woman. She did not have the opportunity to study because the school was too far. She is married, and her husband and children work in agriculture.

Cruz has always worked in agriculture and has managed having her home and supporting her children in this way. Despite the difficulties and illnesses, she continues moving forward struggling to cover her basic needs. With the support of the Kiva loans she has managed to invest in her business. She has had the support of 4 loans and has successfully repaid all of them.

She needs a new loan to buy supplies and to pay for labor for the cultivation of basic grains.
