This gentleman is Luis, a microentrepreneur who owns a store, but he also works at a company in the country to strengthen his income. He has the support of his mother and sister in his business. Luis is happy because he considers himself a fundamental pillar for his loved ones.
Luis has visited the nearest MiCrédito office with the goal of asking for a Kiva loan to purchase rice, sugar, oil, instant soups, soft drinks, candies, canned food, and soap. This investment will positively impact the business and he will have better profit margins. His goal is to convert his neighborhood store into a distributor.
