A loan helped to buy pants, t-shirts, blouses, sugar, flavorings, eggs, and other materials to prepare candy.


Leyda Maria's story

Leyda María and her family live in the city of Santa Ana, known for its beautiful freshwater resorts, varied cuisine, and kind people who always eagerly await the tourists who arrive at all times of the year.

She is a hard-working woman who, despite her advanced age, seeks a way to earn her resources and with them help her husband with the household expenses.

She makes a living from selling catalog clothing. She sells from her home and by telephone. She sells on credit and collects every 8 days.

She also prepares artisanal candy which she sells to the public and also delivers to merchants who buy from her to resell. Thus, she is managing to earn an honest living.

This is thanks to the help from the loans and for that she is very thankful and requests that you continue helping her.

This loan is to buy pants, t-shirts, blouses, sugar, flavorings, eggs, and other materials to prepare the candy.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Sarah Tyler.
