A loan helped to buy sand, cement, and bricks, and to pay for labor to build a drain.


Meliza's story

This is Meliza. She is a nurse. She is 33 years old, in a common-law marriage, and the mother of one child who is her motivation.

Meliza has always wanted to have the best sanitary conditions for her home, which is why she is requesting a Kiva loan with MiCrédito to buy sand, cement, and bricks, and to pay for labor to build a drain.

Meliza hopes to accomplish each of her projects with the help of these two institutions.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Kristin Fisher.


This loan is special because:

It helps communities protect themselves from diseases spread by poor sanitation.
