A loan helped to purchase a head of cattle.


Digna Esperanza's story

Digna, 49 years old, is a rural woman, the mother of 5 children. She is friendly, humble, and enterprising. Digna is a widow and lives with four children and a grandchild. She has always worked at the agricultural tasks. So, when her spouse died, she had the foundation to be able to get ahead.

Digna asks for her first Kiva loan with the objective of investing in the purchase of a head of cattle, with which she will be able to breed more cattle to grow her business and, so, be able to continue supporting her children in their education.
