María is a 47-year-old woman, a single mother of two children. Although they are no longer in her care, she supports them financially. For the past six years, she has worked making and selling rosquillas, a product in high demand. Her arduous work has allowed her to be the head of household and become an independent woman.
To continue growing, she seeks Kiva financing from MiCrédito to purchase bricks, sand, iron, and corn; with these materials she will build artisanal ovens and increase the production of rosquillas. In the future, she wants a loan to improve her house.
