A loan helped to purchase a toilet, tiles and zinc sheeting, and to pay labor costs, all of this will contribute to better hygiene and security.


Leonel Marcelino's story

At the age of 42, Leonel works offering systems engineering services, making the most of his knowledge. Leonel also has a business and, in this way, strengthens his income.

Leonel has identified the need to improve the bathroom in his house, so he has opted for Kiva financing from MiCrédito to purchase a toilet, tiles and zinc sheeting, and to pay labor costs, all of this will contribute to better hygiene and security. His goal is to continue improving his house.
