A loan helped to buy clothing to sell.


Penda's story

Penda is 43 years old. She lives with her husband and her four children, who are all in school. She is active in the clothing sector by selling fabrics, handbags, and shoes.

She's asking for a Kiva loan to really develop her business, which now enables her to cover her children's school fees and certain family needs.

Her dream is to become a major import export merchant. She was quite satisfied with her first Kiva loan that allowed her to start off and make good progress in her business.
