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!

Academic Week at Instituto Ânima in Joinville, Brazil
I was recently invited to give a talk by one of our customers, Instituto Ânima in Brazil. They are part of a large academic faculty that specialises in providing courses for and training our future foundry managers and engineers. Instituto Ânima also have a commercial foundry on the University site which provides a particularly useful function in that their students can visit and learn about a working foundry.
