Aurora's story

Aurora is married. She works growing vegetables, primarily malanga (taro). She has many years of experience in farming. Her husband helps her with her work. Together, they support their household expenses and the children's studies. She has been able to make investments to renovate their home.

This will be her first Kiva loan in collaboration with Aldea Global. She is seeking a loan to plant a field of malanga (taro). She will use these funds to purchase supplies and fertilizers, which will ensure that she will be able to properly care for her crops and produce a better yield.
