Wrong business category

This loan is listed as animal sales, but it has nothing to do with animals. It's a furniture maker.

How do I bring this to Kiva's attention?

I think it is just a mistake.  No actually her boyfriend is a clothes salesman

Yes, I see that regularly: a family has more than one line of business, and may list their main business as the category of their work, but are actually planning to use the loan for a side business with no relation to the first one.  (The proceeds from the first one may, however, be relevant in their ability to pay back the loan for the new business.)  And sometimes the photo is of a different activity altogether.  But at least we know she's got a solvent business in the barbershop!

Simba, I think you missed this line: 

She owns a hairdresser’s shop that has a well-established clientele, as it’s located in a very commercial zone which a lot of people pass through. Maria also sells clothes that she buys abroad, travelling to Argentina to purchase them.
