A loan of $500 by Kiva has helped Ernestina purchase larger quantities of wood to increase her production. The loan is having a positive impact on her sales. Since the loan was issued, Ernestina's sales have increased 86% as compared to the same period last year.
Through midnight* November 21st, NOVICA will be donating 20% of the purchase price from all sales made through this page to Kiva.org.
Gift purchases made through this page will not only help raise funds for Kiva, they will be supporting the small workshops of artisans around the world, bringing much needed income to local communities.
