New Kiva Loan - Grace
Here is our latest borrower ..
Grace's story
Grace is a 19-year-old young woman, and she is known for being kind, happy, and very responsible. She lives in the community of Cuesaca in Equador.
Grace wants to go to university, so after graduating from high school, she started farming with her father. In addition, a few months ago, she started making a silo for sale, and on the weekends, she works with her mother to sell roasted guinea pigs, fried foods, and other traditional dishes from the area.
She is a clear example of an enterprising woman, and she wants her first loan to invest in buying agricultural supplies to grow potatoes. She also wants to buy cane to make the silo. Grace does all of this to realize her dream of going to university and for her younger brother to be able to follow her example.
Good luck Grace!

Making Sure You are in the Right Jungle
Coveyism, borrowed from the late great Dr. Stephen R. Covey of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Principle Centered Leadership.
If you want a clear understanding of the difference between management and leadership imagine the scene: someone going through the jungle with a machete cutting the undergrowth clearing it up. There are the producers down there, see, the workers. Here all the managers are, back here sharpening the machetes for them, putting on muscle development classes for machete wielders, setting up working schedules for machete wielders, handling jurisdictional disputes between machete wielders. The leader climbs the tallest tree in the jungle, surveys the entire scene, studies the larger picture and screams out “Wrong jungle” and all the managers shout back: Shut up we are making progress.1
Through BRM and CRM, your metalcasting operations will always be making progress in the right jungle through improved communications and expanded relationships.
