A loan helped to purchase basic grains, canned goods, and dairy products.


Ruth Anabell's story

Ruth is a 37-year-old woman, married and the mother of 2 children. Ruth is always thinking of the best way to increase her income and to continue being the head of household. One year ago, she began selling cosmetics, later she established a small neighborhood store in which she has been adding new merchandise due to her customers' demand, generating a larger profit margin.

Currently, she has visited the nearest MiCrédito office with the goal of asking for a Kiva loan to purchase basic grains, canned goods, and dairy products. With this investment, she will be able to improve her inventory. Ruth wants to have a larger business.
