A loan helped to buy cement, sand, and quarry stone for constructing a more private bathroom.


Maria Auxiliadora's story

Maria is a humble, hardworking, and responsible businesswoman with many goals in mind. She has owned a grocery store for a decade, and every week she resolves to vary her products in order to satisfy the needs of her customers.

The desire to have better hygienic conditions in her home has brought her to request a Kiva loan through MiCredito to buy cement, sand, and quarry rock. All of this will contribute to the construction of a bathroom in order to have more privacy. The next step is to improve the home and her toilet.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Rita Levitz.


This loan is special because:

It helps communities protect themselves from diseases spread by poor sanitation.
