Elida, 38, lives in the city of Huaraz in the district of Carhuaz with her daughter. She is a single, hard-working mother who dedicates all her efforts to providing for her family. Unfortunately, due to a lack of economic resources and the need to work, Elida was unable to get professional training.
On her own initiative, Elida runs a small business selling wooden products. She works about ten hours a day and believes it is going well for her because of her dedication and efforts.
Elida is very grateful to Kiva lenders whose help will allow her to buy more merchandise, such as chairs, chests of drawers and other items. In this way, She will be able to continue working and striving toward her goal of having her own house.
