Ligia is 52 years old. She is a single mother of four children and is a merchant. For more than a decade she has been selling typical sweets and pinolillo (a cornmeal and cacao drink). Little by little she has made investments that have allowed her to increase her profits. With this she has achieved several of her objectives, such as the purchase of a stall and the remodeling of her home.
Now, Ligia has decided to request a Kiva loan through MiCrédito to buy sweets and cereals in large quantities. This way she can get them at a better price. Thanks to this, she will be able to sell more products and improve the store with her profits. Her next step is to opt for the purchase of land.
