A loan helped to buy rice and bags to sell it in.


Diana Margarita's story

Diana Margarita is 36 years old. She is separated and has a 3-year-old son. They live in Manta, a place of beautiful beaches and a varied cuisine. It is much visited by tourists, but not so much lately because of the pandemic caused by COVID-19.

She is a woman who is seeking a way to earn her income and get herself and her son ahead, because she is both mother and father at the same time. She sells rice, which she buys at a wholesale warehouse and then sells from her home by the quintal, or by the bag starting at 10 pounds. She also makes home deliveries. For her, the loans have been the best, because thanks to them she is financing her business and is able to get ahead.

This loan is to buy rice and bags to sell it in.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Ellen Donohue.
