Lucia, age 27, is a young woman who is single and lives with her mother and siblings in the community of Rioverde. She is known for her smile, outgoing personality, and work ethic. Lucia sells raw fish and shellfish with her family who taught her this line of work. She has been attending to her customers with a smile on her face and a good vibe for more than four years.
Lucia wants to continue her business and set up a small shop where she can offer more seafood, crustaceans, and raw fish. For this reason, she is requesting her first loan from Kiva loan so that she can make her dream a reality. She hopes to achieve better conditions for her business and her family.
The other people in the photo are Lucia’s customers, so their faces have been hidden.
