Candelario's story

Candelario is a microentrepreneur who has turned every circumstance into opportunities for growth. Candelario is already familiar with the activities of these two institutions because in the past he has received financial support from both of them.

At this time, Candelario is applying again for a Kiva loan through MiCrédito to purchase various types of sodas and a freezer to sell more ice. This will have a positive impact on his finances. Candelario is not yet ready to be financially self- sufficient.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Nicole Efros.


This loan is special because:

It includes access to short-term emergency loans.
