A loan helped to buy nail polish, acetone, nail treatments, sticks, and a nail dryer machine.


Martha Carolina's story

Martha, age 39, is a woman who little by little has become a key piece for her family. Martha is the single mother of three children and has a dependent. For many years, she has offered pedicure services, and gradually has been expanding, coming to have a small beauty salon. Also, she offers courses in acrylic nails to strengthen her income.

This brave woman has visited the closest office of MiCrédito in order to request a Kiva loan to buy nail polish, acetone, nail treatments, sticks, and a nail dryer machine. With these items, she will continue doing her work in the best way. In the coming years, she wishes to have a large salon of her own.
