A loan helped to buy more merchandise to continue selling.


Maria Magdalena's story

Maria is 28 years old, and she studied up to 9th grade in school. She is single, and lives with her mother. Maria sells clothing, footwear, and more. Her business is in the city and her schedule is from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Previously, she worked as an employee in a store and as a day laborer.

Maria needs the loan to buy more merchandise to continue selling. Maria dreams of making more profits and seeing her business grow.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Dennis Dunphy.
