A loan helped to insulate her house and save energy in the winter.


Svetlana's story

Svetlana runs her own business; she sells wallpaper at the market. Previous loans from Kiva have helped her to improve her living conditions. Her latest loan allowed her to install new windows and to perform other renovations in her house.

Svetlana is now taking another loan to finish some outside renovation work. She wants to put an extra layer of insulation which will help conserve heat in the winter. Thanks to this loan, her house will not only be beautiful but warm.
