Elevi is 33 years old and went to school as far as the ninth grade. His spouse is a homemaker and they have three children, one of whom attends school.
Elevi has worked for 3 years as a beekeeper, an activity that he learned from a friend. Before that he worked as a carpenter, but he didn’t feel that this was very profitable so he decided to work full-time caring for beehives and producing honey. His cousin helps him with his work.
He needs this loan to buy 6 quintals of sugar to feed his beehives so that they will produce a lot of honey. He has previously been supported by 3 Kiva loans, with which he was able to improve his life, and which he repaid completely.
Elevi dreams of improving his beekeeping business by buying more wooden boxes to house his hives, and plans to do this with the help of loans and with the income he earns from his sales.
