Dimaris is a 32-year-old woman who is in a common-law relationship and a mother of three children in high school. Five years ago, she started a business of selling lollipops, soft drinks, curds, and cream to generate income. Her husband is responsible for obtaining milk from the cows, which she uses to make some of her products. Today, Dimaris considers herself to be an independent and hardworking woman.
She has turned to Kiva and MiCrédito to request a loan in order to buy bottles for storing milk and a skimmer for separating cream. This investment will help her grow as a merchant and enable her to generate more income. Dimaris dreams of having a larger business.
