Silvia Andrea's story
Andrea is 43 years old and lives with her family in the city of Ibarra, located in northern Ecuador, known for its agricultural, artisanal, commercial, and economic activities.
She has been selling footwear for one year. Andrea is a very active woman who is always thinking about how to improve her financial situation. She started this business because she wanted to bring a higher income to her home and be independent. Andrea plans to use this business to become more financially stable and to give her family the best life possible. She believes that customer service is very important for entrepreneurs.
Andrea is applying for a loan of 2,500 USD, which she will use to buy merchandise such as men’s and women’s shoes on a large scale, allowing her to have a greater profit margin. With this loan, Andrea will generate a higher level of income and stabilize her finances, with the goal of expanding the variety of footwear in the future. Andrea is very grateful for the help and trust that Kiva offers her.
