A loan helped to purchase depilatory wax, clippers, shaving cream, and a screen to attract more attention.


Steven Jose's story

Steven is a 24-year-old man in a common-law marriage and the father of a minor who has become his most tremendous driving force. For three years, he has worked managing a small barber shop, which has allowed him to generate income to bring the sustenance home.

Steven has knocked on the doors of MiCrédito to ask for a Kiva loan to purchase depilatory wax, clippers, shaving cream, and a screen to attract more attention. The next step is to build a new barber shop to generate more income and jobs.
