A loan helped to buy manure, fertilizers, and seeds, among other agricultural supplies, for her potato crop.


Melva Estefania's story

This is Melva, a woman who lives with her husband and son in the community of Loma de Tembud. She works there sowing the land with potato seeds.

Melva is very grateful to the organization because thanks to it she has managed to move her home and business forward. She invested the money in her crops, and they produced good earnings.

Melva wants to receive another loan to buy manure, fertilizers, and seeds, among other agricultural supplies. In this way she hopes to continue improving her work and her lifestyle.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Laurie Hiller.


This loan is special because:

It aims to reach vulnerable refugee populations in an isolated region.
