Yasmina Del Socorro's story

Yasmina is 55 years old, married, and a mother to three children who have made a life for themselves. Thanks to her job, she has a fixed salary and, alongside it, she is able to increase her income by selling food. Determined to improve the condition of her toilet, she has decided to request a loan from Kiva so she can buy ceramics, cement, repemax [a brand of mortar for plastering], a toilet, zinc sheets, and other materials. She hopes to keep improving her humble home in the future.
