A loan helped to buy meat, chicken, fruit, bread and sweets to supply her business and to continue to trade.


Martha Patricia's story

Martha is a shopkeeper with broad business experience. In the past, these institutions have helped her to grow beauty salon business. Today, she has built a small kiosk business where she sell drinks and more.

Martha continues to trust in both institutions, so much so that she is requesting another Kiva loan to buy meat, chicken, fruit, bread and sweets, to supply her business and continue trading.

In the future she hopes to be self sufficient.
