A loan helped a member to buy iron, cans, bottles, aluminium, etc.


Perlas Group's story

Yosneira is thirty-seven years old, single and has two children. She works selling and collecting scrap metal. Yosneira put in a lot of effort to start her business, in order to give her daughters a better quality of life by collecting the objects they threw away and little by little she learned to make a profit through recycling.

She has applied for credit from Fundenuse again, using the Kiva fund to buy iron, cans, bottles, aluminium, etc. With the previous financing, her profits were quite good, which is why she decided to continue to be part of the Perlas group together with Luis, who sells cereals, and Fany, who sells new clothes.

In this group: Yosneira , Luis , Fany

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Sarah Phythian.
