A loan helped to buy silk and polyester thread so that she has the materials to continue making hammocks.


Rosa Maribel's story

Rosa is applying for another loan because she is motivated to continue investing in her business due to the positive results achieved with the previous loan. She will use the borrowed funds to buy silk thread and polyester thread, in that way she will have the raw materials to continue making hammocks.

The previous loan enabled her to capitalize her weaving business, thus attaining stability in her sales and in her revenue. Her family's living conditions are more comfortable. She does not mention any changes to her family structure.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Kelly Dass.


This loan is special because:

It gives El Salvador's artists a chance to revive the local art of handcrafting.
