A loan helped a member to pay for the stove.


I'm Loving It Group's story

'Maalice is a 46-year-old widow, with one child aged 19. She lives in a multi-roomed house with no electricity. She is a teacher.

'Maalice bought the ACE1 stove to help reduce the costs of fuel. LPG costs LSL 200, while she spends LSL 75 on paraffin. When she heard about how the stove could help her, she decided to get one. With this stove, she will cook using wood without any smoke. She will also light her home with the LED lamp that comes with the stove, and she will also charge her mobile phone.

'Maalice and the other people in this group have kindly requested a loan from Kiva lenders to pay for the stove which they say is going to help them a lot.
