A loan helped to buy gas, tables, corn, bags, and lime.


Mayra Calixta's story

Every afternoon, with a lot of love and the hope of getting ahead with her budget, Mayra makes the most delicious tortillas in the whole region, selling them in small quantities and at a good price, motivated by her son to get ahead with the household expenses. She has 12 years of experience making this traditional national food that arrives every afternoon to every Nicaraguan household.

She requested a loan from MiCrédito with Kiva support to buy gas, tables, corn, bags, and lime so she can continue with this business plan. That way she'll earn more income for her business, because she's well known among her customers, who recommend her delicious tortillas.

In the near future she wants to have a flourishing and sustainable business.
