Your Purchase Makes a Difference!

Confronting Adversity

While Mayra faces her own health challenges, her baby boy caught dengue fever which is a mosquito-borne viral disease and is the leading cause of death occurring in tropical and subtropical areas. With all that she and her son face, she continues to push forward with incredible strength.

Profound Impact

Mayra is going through a very difficult time in her life since the money her husband earns is not enough to live on and, although her sales in NOVICA are a constant help, they are not enough to cover her expenses.

Microcredit Financing

Mayra Leticia Hernandez has received 2 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $150 and the most recent for $400.

Preserving Traditions

Mayra is a proud weaver who uses a backstrap loom, a traditional technique that has been practiced for generations in Central America.

Empowering Women

The Women's Empowerment badge is awarded to female artisans or artisan groups that are led by women.

Caring for Children

Mayra has one son under the age of ten that she loves deeply and cares for.
