Elizabeth is
a single mother who depends on the help of her ex-husband. Her two daughters
are young and the oldest is in elementary school. She teaches secondary school
classes at the local school.
Little by
little Elizabeth has made improvements to her house where she lives and like
all people she longs to see it be beautiful and she will not rest until it is
100% complete. For the first time she is seeking a loan from Kiva to construct
a sump and to connect pipes for passing sewage. In doing this she will be able
to make a toilet useful that she had installed the moment her house was built
but because of a lack of resources she was unable to complete. Her family will
benefit from this improvement and they will rely on better hygiene and privacy,
and they will enjoy a healthier environment.
Spanish students loaned Elizabeth $60
and she is now 40% funded!
Students in our class researched individuals on sites like Kiva.org, presented candidates to the class in Spanish, and we voted on which candidates we wanted to fund.
