A loan helped to purchase groceries to prepare food.


Martha Marlene's story

Martha Marlene and her family live in Santa Ana, a place of beautiful countryside landscapes and freshwater spas and of hard-working people struggling to provide for their families.

She is a working woman who looks for a way to earn her resources and with them get ahead with her family. She achieves this with the help she receives with the loans and for that she is very grateful.

She prepares lunches at home that she then delivers either at customers' homes or in certain workplaces where her clients ask her. In the afternoons she also prepares plantain empanadas with meat or cheese to the taste of her clients who come to her house to get these delicacies that she prepares with love.

This loan is to buy groceries to prepare food.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Maria Pelaez.


This loan is special because:

It is accompanied by useful, real-life business training.
