Maria Lourdes's story

María is a woman who is always attentive to the well-being of her family. In the past, she benefited from a loan from Kiva and MiCredio with which she managed to build a humble bathroom. At this time he wants to continue finishing the work. She has requested a Kiva loan again to buy wood, zinc, cement, and a door and to pay for the labor of the project.

After this investment Maria will have a cleaner, more hygienic space. In the future she wants to have her own business to increase her income.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Ellen Wuertz.


This loan is special because:

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