I am applying for this loan to secure the capital necessary for expanding Candy Wasted LLC’s youth entrepreneurship training program. The loan will allow us to enhance our resources for hands-on activities, increase our marketing efforts to reach a larger audience, and publish our children's book, Candy Wasted: The Sweet Adventures of Starting a Business, which plays a key role in teaching entrepreneurial concepts.

This loan will provide the critical funding needed to elevate Candy Wasted’s impact by allowing us to reach more young entrepreneurs, expand our curriculum, and create greater community engagement. With enhanced resources and marketing, we can empower more youth to develop business skills, fostering creativity and financial literacy.

Kiva's no-interest, no-fee loan is exactly the kind of support that can make a pivotal difference for a small business like ours. With this loan, we can channel funds directly into program development and outreach without the burden of extra fees or interest, allowing us to maximize every dollar towards our mission.

This capital infusion will help us broaden our reach and bring entrepreneurial education to underserved youth who may not have access to these opportunities. Kiva’s support will enable us to impact more lives, strengthen our community, and empower the next generation of business leaders.
