A loan helped to purchase backpacks and school uniforms to diversify her inventory and have more income.


Lydia Alejandra's story

For Lydia, selling new and used clothing has been her primary source of income. Her business is stable thanks to previous financing that these two institutions gave her.

At this time, she has again approached the Kiva lenders and MiCrédito to ask for a loan. With this loan, she will purchase backpacks and school uniforms to diversify her inventory and have more income. She has the support of her child in this new investment. In the future she wants to build a roof on the side of the highway for her business to be more well-known.
