A loan helped to buy meters of leather, soles and thread for shoemaking.


Volana's story

Volana is very happy and she gratefully thanks the Kiva lenders for giving her the last loan. This loan helped her to buy initial materials for shoe-making. The profits that she earned were used to buy furniture for her house.

Now, in order to better satisfy the needs of her customers, Volana is asking for a new loan to buy meters of leather, soles and additional thread for shoe making. Her goal is to buy land in the future.
