A loan helped buy bricks, cement, sand, and iron for the construction of a decent and safe bathroom.


Gioconda Del Socorro's story

This is Gioconda, a very humble woman who has made an effort to improve her living conditions. In the past she had the opportunity to benefit from a loan from these two institutions to change the structure of the house.

Gioconda works as a teacher and her husband also supports her financially.

She currently has a bathroom area lined with black plastic and curtains, with little or no privacy. In view of her need, she is looking for Kiva financing on MiCrédito to buy bricks, cement, sand, and iron for the construction of a decent and safe bathroom.

In the future she wants to build a perimeter wall to divide the patio.
