A loan helped to continue paying for the educational costs of her daughter.


Luz Marina's story

Luz, who is found on the left side of the picture, was previously a beneficiary of an education loan from Kiva. Currently, she works in the administration of a laboratory and is the only person in charge of the education costs of her daughter, Mayra, who is found on the right side of the picture.
Mayra is studying Human Medicine at the Universidad Norbert Wiener. Mayra is an applied and dedicated student, qualities that reflect in her excellent academic record.
However, Luz, who is a single mother and carries the sole financial responsibility of the household, has difficulties to cover the cost of the next semester of studies for her daughter, Mayra. For this reason, Luz is asking for a new education loan from Kiva to permit Mayra to continue with her professional development.
This support will not only alleviate the economic drain on Luz, but also provide tranquility in the knowledge that her daughter, Mayra, will be able to continue studying and her effort will be worth it.
Mayra expresses her profound gratitude for the opportunity being provided to her and shares the following message: "I want to express my sincere thankfulness for the support that you are providing to me. Thanks to this help, I will be able to continue my studies this next semester and continue advancing towards my professional goals. These goals are very important to me; they motivate me and excite me to, at some point in the future, support others who are faced with difficulties. Thank you!"
