We have just completed our second loan through Kiva lending $200 to
Martha Luevano Lara in Cd.Mante, Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Here is a bit of background from kiva:
“Martha is married and has a 26-year-old daughter.
She decided to put her own business in her house because she wanted to make the most of her time. She has always liked sales. She has been selling vegetables and fruit for 9 years.
She started with the help of her daughter, and with little variety. Now she wants to buy more, in order to continue growing and to give the customers what the want.”
Martha will be using the money to buy more fruits for her fruit and vegetable stand. At Holstee we love giving our customers what they want, and also love fruit so lending to Martha made perfect sense!
UPDATE: This loan has since been refunded.
