A loan helped to buy zinc, beams, iron and PVC sheets for the ceiling to have a more dignified home.


Petrona Orfilia's story

Meet Petronia, an older woman who previously had the opportunity to benefit from Kiva and MiCrédito with loans. This help was essentially for renovating part of her home. Petrona continues to receive remittances. Her child helps with each decision that she makes. Petrona has returned to Kiva and MiCrédito to buy zinc, beans, iron, and PVC sheets to repair the roof and have a more dignified home. Petrona will not rest until the home is completely furnished.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Alexandrea Moseley.
