A loan helped to purchase raw material, wood.


Edison Geovanny's story

Edison is 23 years old, married, his wife takes care of the domestic chores of their home, and he has a 1-year-old daughter, Kiara, who stays with her mother. He began to work in wood when he was 16 years old. He buys and sells battens, rafters, and staves. He gets raw material in bulk and planes it, preparing it for carpentry, giving added value to all the wood that gets in his hands. This humble work has allowed him to feed his family. Edison, with the money, will purchase wood to make staves and rafters. He hopes to strengthen his income so to expand his business in the future.
