A loan helped to purchase soil amendments and maintain her plot of cocoa.


Francisca's story

Francisca, 48 years old, has a 14-year-old child. She is a single mother and for 5 years has worked in cocoa production. She seeks to improve the quality of her cocoa, in the process of growing, and offer it better maintenance.

It is for this that she requests from Kiva to purchase soil amendments and maintain her plot of cocoa. For a second income, she works raising chickens and buys and sells corn.

Her dream is to expand her house to improve her quality of life and that of her child. She is considered to be an honest, generous, and very hard-working woman.
