Vanessa Mishel's story

Vanessa is a 20-year-old young woman, a resident of the sector of Santa Isabel. Here, she lives with her family which included her parents and siblings.

Vanessa finished secondary school but has not been able to continue her studies at the university due to the lack of financial resources, so she took a stylist course. Her next objective is to establish a beauty salon.

For this, she is working very hard raising and selling pigs since she aspires to generate the money for her new project. Today, she is seeking a Kiva loan to be able to purchase pigs and feed to raise them and be able to sell them, generating earnings in this way.
