Norma, a 48-year-old woman, has a son and is married. In recent years, she has been selling food and also merchandise on demand. She also receives remittances and thus bolsters her income. Norma lives in a small area where access to drinking water has become a challenge for her.
During this time she has resorted to MiCrédito's Kiva financing to buy sheets of zinc, blocks, cement, and a window. Her goal is to expand the café and sell much more.
