A loan helped to buy shirts, pants, shorts, a pack of used clothing, meat, vegetables, and basic grains.


Rafaela's story

Despite her advanced age, Rafaela has the energy necessary to keep going forward with her projects. She is always thinking of the best way to increase her income. Rafaela has a business selling new and used clothing. She also boosts her income by selling food on weekends. Previously, she had a loan from both institutions, which she continues to put so much trust in, So much so that she is asking for another Kiva and MiCrédito loan to buy shirts, pants, shorts, a pack of used clothing, meat, vegetables, and basic grains. With this investment, she will boost both businesses. Her goal is to have a spacious store with new clothing.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Ellen Donohue.
