A loan helped a member to buy fabric, thread, needles and accessories.


Las Gardenias Group's story

The “LAS GARDENIAS” group is made up of female members who work in the retail trade.

Elizabeth is 54, and lives with her partner and one child who is in school. For the last year she has made rag dolls to order for her customers, and to sell as a street vendor. At the same time she provides domestic services. She will use the loan to buy fabric, thread, needles and accessories (little eyes and mouths, hands, feet and woolen hair). Her greatest wish is to give her child a professional career.

The group is grateful to KIVA lenders for the loan offered. Elizabeth is the first person on the right.

In this group: Yuli Esther, Elea, Matilde Aurelia, Elizabeth, Ernestina
