A loan helped to buy soles, special glue, and patent leather to continue making sandals in large quantities.


Claudia Alice's story

This is Claudia, age 34. She is in a common law relationship and is the mother of two children who are her motivation. For five years, she has been working making women's sandals. This work has permitted her to generate income to support her husband with household expenses and to be independent financially.

Claudia has visited the nearest office of MiCrédito to opt for a Kiva loan to buy soles, special glue, and patent leather to continue making sandals in large quantities. Claudia wishes to have a large shoe workshop.
