A loan helped to buy zinc sheets and cement to begin the construction of his house.


Argen Jose's story

Argen is a small businessman of 39, who lives with his partner and children in a rural area of the country.

Argen and his family face inconveniences daily regarding water service, and they cannot always count on having access to this vital liquid.

Argen works in coffee production. Now he wants to build a house. For this he asks MiCrédito for a Kiva loan to buy sheets of zinc and cement to begin construction of his house.

In the future, he plans to continue building and to buy more land to cultivate.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Charissa Nelson.


This loan is special because:

It includes access to short-term emergency loans.
