Celebrating Andrea: A Sparkling Success on Kiva!
We are thrilled to congratulate Andrea Serrano with Glossy Jewellery – our 2023 Pitch competition winner – on securing $10,500 through Kiva.org! This incredible achievement will help Andrea—a talented immigrant entrepreneur—invest in much-needed equipment to craft custom, one-of-a-kind jewelry for her clients.
With the support of 453 lenders from around the world, Andrea’s vision is now a reality. This is more than just funding—it’s a testament to the power of community, resilience, and the belief in small businesses that make a big impact.
Lowcountry Local First is proud to serve as a Kiva Trustee through the Lowcountry Kiva Hub . As a trusted community partner, we identify, endorse and offer support to small business owners who are ready to grow, helping them unlock 0% interest funding through Kiva. By participating in this social underwriting model, we’re helping to provide equitable access to capital while investing in the people and businesses that directly strengthen our local economy.
