Loan Spotlight
Our organization uses KIVA's online software to collectively decide on 2 to 3 struggling businesses to loan money for each month. Our organization has successfully loaned over $10,000+ to 100+ struggling business owners in 27+ countries. Below are some of our very first loans that we wanted to spotlight:
Betty Marisol
Ecuador
​Betty Marisol is a diligent woman, driven to support her family by managing a brick factory with the help of loans. Her husband and two others oversee brick production, while she handles sales and customer orders, supplying bricks to various cities as per demand.
We lent $150 to Betty!
Rosas De Chuicabal Group
Guatamala
In the rural western highlands of Guatemala, accessing pharmaceutical items and medical services can be difficult. Francisca, a 20-year-old single woman with a ninth-grade education, runs a small pharmacy in her rural community in Totonicapan. With the aim of formalizing her business and expanding inventory, she seeks her first Kiva loan to purchase essential medicines for her customers.
