Jose Humberto

José is 60 years old, studied up to the sixth grade in school, is partnered, and his partner sells seafood. He has eight children, of whom two depend on him.

José works in artisanal fishing and has 14 years of experience in this labor, which he learned from his older sibling. His work schedule is from 5:00 pm to 6:00 am as it is easier for him to fish with a night schedule.

He will use the loan to purchase nets and a motor for his fishing work.

José dreams of his younger children studying at the university and managing to become professionals.
