Jessenia Maricela is a hard-working woman who is looking for the way to earn an income and help her husband to move forward. She is achieving this through the help of Kiva loans, for which she is very grateful. She works cleaning and selling fish. She buys small fish (pinchaguas) and then she pickles them in salt and lime and sells them in jars to business owners who use them to prepare delicious ceviches made of pinchagua. In this way she is able to move forward despite the difficulties that she still has in her life. This loan is for buying fish, lime, salt, and jars for canning and selling fish.
