A loan helped to buy bags of herbal teas and 5 buckets of honey and save to take care of her family.


Rasamata's story

Rasamata is mother of six children, five of whom go to school. She is a trader and has been selling herbal tea at a local market for more than 20 years. She repaid her kiva loan without difficulty and is requesting a new loan to buy bags of herbal teas and 5 buckets of honey to satisfy her customers. The goal is to stock up in sufficient quantities to satisfy her customers. She plans to use the profit to reinvest in her business and save to take care of her family.
