A loan helped to buy a bathroom sink and tubing for connecting to the water drainage system in order to improve hygiene conditions.


Karen Mercedes's story

She is an honest, hardworking and responsible youth. She demonstrated this with the previous loan which these two institutions authorized. This financial assistance allowed her to improve her home. At this time she is at MiCredito seeking another Kiva loan to buy a bathroom sink and tubing for connecting to the water drainage system in order to improve hygiene conditions. Karen wishes to continue improving her home.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Hasmin Sherwin.


This loan is special because:

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