Vilma Janeth's story

This Vilma. She is a humble woman, and the mother of one child.

Vilma lives in a rural area of the country. Her home is humble, and the kitchen is made of deteriorated wood which is exposed to dangers in the winter season.

In view of this need Vilma seeks a Kiva loan, through MiCrédito, to buy zinc sheeting, channel, stones, cement, sand, gravel and nails. With these materials she will build a new kitchen. In the future she wants to fix up her home with tile, and re-plaster the walls.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Laurie Hiller.
