That's because she has regular customers and wants them to have pretty choices for the religious holiday approaching.
I remember my mother making new clothes for us for Easter.
This young woman is also a single mother.
Mama was a single mother by the time I was in high school.
For this International Women's Day, Kiva is granting me $20 to give toward a future loan, just for making a loan to a woman today.
I intend to give that to another young woman, doing similar work in northeastern Guatemala.
For today, though, I chose to fund Manuela Christina Olivia in the south.
I'll have to let my first niece know.
She'll catch my inside joke with her.

I was the first to loan to her.
Then came June of Woodbridge, CA, and Candace of Springfield, VA, and Ashish of somewhere else.
Now, Manuela's loan is almost completely financed by 15 lenders.
It helps to have a personal message from a lender.
I'm glad I did that for her.
The three women who joined me on this one have also lent to Ruth Nohemi, the other woman I'd considered.
They're the only ones so far.
I'll have to join them, as they did for me.
