The group "Grupo 1" is in its second [loan] cycle. The group includes nine members. In the photo are only the members of the board of directors: president, treasurer, and secretary. They are happy to continue as a team, working for a better future.
Jessica is 36 years old. She is separated, and a single mother with one child, age 8 years, who is her strength and inspiration for getting ahead.
She is considered to be a happy, hardworking, and responsible woman. For 15 years, she has had her business selling regional and varied foods. That is why her great challenge is to increase her sales.
Similarly, her great dream is to have various food stalls in three districts. In addition to this business, she has no other source of income.
She will use the Kiva loan to set up her food stall. She will buy chairs and supplies and provide better service to her customers.
