A loan helped to buy leather, soles and glue for his shoe shop.


Rudy Manuel's story

Rudy is a 52-year-old man who owns a small shoe shop. He has thirty-eight years of experience in the commerce sector.

Since he decided to create his own source of income, he obtained the unconditional help of his spouse. He is a merchant who, regardless of his age, set himself many goals and with much effort is sure to achieve them.

Rudy received previous loans from Kiva and MiCredito, which he used to buy laces, leather and polishing paste. At this time he is very happy because with that help he was able to fulfill some orders, so much so that he has once again knocked on the doors of Kiva and MiCredito in the hope of obtaining a loan to buy leather, soles and glue.

Rudy, in the short term, plans to turn his business around and turn it into a solid grocery store.
