Elizabeth, age 56, is a cheerful and friendly person who lives with her daughters. She is raising them as a single mother. Elizabeth lives in a rented house where she has a shop where she sells fish and vegetables.
Her business has been in operation for three years. It has enabled her to provide her daughters with the education they need to succeed. Elizabeth is requesting a Kiva loan to buy a wider variety of products to grow and better stock her shop. This will help increase her sales and generate more income for her family.
Elizabeth wants to grow her business so that she can open another location, which will provide the financial stability she needs for her daughters to finish their education.
