Loan #18: Norka Luza Mellado

Norka with Rick in her new pottery shop

This is our first repeat loan.  Norka received a loan two years ago and asked if we would consider giving her another one to help with the costs associated with opening her second pottery shop.  Given that she was so reliable and prompt in paying it back the first time, we immediately agreed.  Thanks to all of those people who are part of this loan and the program in general!

Loan # 17: Michael Aquehua Loayza -- As of February 2015, Michael has paid back his loan!

Michael

We are offering the 17th loan to Michael.  He and his father have wanted to start a restaurant in Cusco for a while, but with the interest on bank loans being so high in Peru, they have not been able to get a break to do this.  This loan will give them this opportunity.  We met Michael through a soccer school in Cusco (see picture below), which is an outreach to local children there.  Michael is one of the coaches. 

As always, we will keep you updated when he pays back the loan and you can decide whether to get your money back or re-loan it to another recipient.
