Fredy is 42 years and from Barranquilla, Colombia. A loan of $925 helps Fredy to buy wholesale Christmas merchandise, toys, clothing and shoes. If he gets the money he needs, he will double his income. When people buy his stuff the families (customers) will want to be happy and dance away the old year and celebrate the new year with family.

DeleteI like the fact that he is trying to buy christmas things to enhance the mood. This is something different that someone is trying to do. Most people want to raise food and things like that. But this is interesting and I think that people will be attracted to it just because it is different.

ReplyDeleteLoan for Nursing School from Dominican Republic
Rita Alexandra is trying to earn enough money to finish nursing school. She had to stop after first semester because she doesn't have the money to pay for school and either does her father. She lives with her mom, sister, aunt, and cousins. There isn't a lot of money to provide for everyone and she wants to set an example and become a professional. She thinks becoming a nurse will help provide for her society and family.
Its her dream to continue studying and go on to get her masters. She also can't afford transportation to school and is working towards that. She needs a loan of $6,150. It will go towards her registration, transports, and books that she needs to have for the nursing course. She hopes to receive money soon so she can continue her education and help her society faster.
That is a good idea! That way she can make more money for her and her family. She would make a really good nurse I'm sure.

She is concerned for her family, which is living in a partially-finished house that needs essential construction work to be completed. She will use the money to buy construction material, such as wood, sand, and cement in order to finish building her house.
She feels happy and grateful to Kiva lenders for the support that she is being provided, because then she will be able to provide better living conditions for her family.
Marielourdes is the coordinator of he Haitian group Equilibre De Ouanaminthe. She lives in the northeastern region of Haiti with her husband and child. The electricity there is very rare and the water is scarce. She has been managing foodstuffs around her area of Haiti for 10 years now. She is hoping that this loan from Kiva will help her expand her business to cover a larger area of Haiti. Other people in her group are also trying to raise money and gather other cosmetics and clothing. Together, the entire group is trying to give hope and courage to this part of Haiti and the people who were physically and emotionally hurt by the earthquake that took place 3 years ago.

ReplyDeleteThuy is a business women from Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, which is right by my country, Laos. She is 38 years old. Thuy lives in a small house with her husband and and daughter. She is the main provider in the family. Her husband is a mechanical worker. Thuy owns her own business, selling cosmetics to people in her community. Her business has been open for seven years. She wants a loan for $950. Her loan would enable her to buy better quality products and meet her customers’ demands. Thuy wants to give her family a better life, especially an education for her daughter.
I think she would be a good investment. Thuy has been in business a long time. I think she would be successful because she knows what her costumers want and what kinds of products she needs to expand her business. The loan could make her really successful and give her family a better life.
She must really care about her town
