Jessica is a young merchant who is 23 years of age. She has five years of experience managing her business selling fried snacks. By maintaining a stable income, Jessica has been able to care for her family, especially her six-year-old son who is in the first grade. Even though she only has a primary school education, her effort and dedication are reflected in the steady growth of her business. Jessica has the constant support of her husband, which has allowed her to succeed in her endeavors. She is a hardworking and responsible person who seeks to improve her quality of life.
Jessica is requesting a Kiva loan to buy quarry stone, sand, gravel, and pipes so that she can build a bathroom for her home. With this investment, she will avoid problems with standing water and illnesses and improve the health and well-being of her family. In addition, part of the money will be used to buy rebar and corrugated metal sheets, which will facilitate the continuation of her renovation project. In the long term, she plans to build another room and replace the sheet metal roof of her home.
This loan represents an important step in transforming her home into a safer and more comfortable space.
