Mirian Mercedes's story

Mirian Mercedes and her family live in the city of Portoviejo, a beautiful place with a combination of landscapes and beaches that are very visited all year round. She is a hardworking woman looking for ways to earn an income to support and thrive along with her family.

Mirian has a sewing workshop in her house where she tailors and mends all kinds of garments. She works by request from customers who come to her house and choose her work because it is of high-quality. Mirian's sewing workshop allows her to earn an honest living and this is possible thanks to the support from Kiva loans, for which is why she is very grateful and decides to request once again.

This loan will help Mirian purchase fabric, thread, buttons and other sewing materials.
