Diawarata is the mother of 4 children, 3 of whom are in school. She is a merchant who has been selling condiments in a market in the capital for more than 20 years. She has paid off her previous Kiva loans without difficulty, and she is requesting a new loan to buy sacks of onions, bags of black peppercorns, and crates of garlic to satisfy the demands of her customers. Diawarata will reinvest part of her earnings in her business and will also save in order to take good care of her children.
