Adding to basket
Fernando is 20 years old, single and lives with his parents and four siblings. They live in Jaramijo, a place known for its beautiful beaches that are well-visited by both domestic and international tourists.
Fernando is a young man who likes to work and, in this way, make a better life for himself and his family, since he helps pay the household expenses. He and other people work together fishing on a boat. They go out to sea to fish, sometimes for several days, and when they have caught a large quantity, they return to the beach to sell their fish to the dealers who arrive to take it to other cities. This is the way that he and the others who work with him can bring home the daily bread.
This loan will be used to buy rope nets, hooks, bait and construction materials. He appreciates the loans because they are a great help. Fernando's dream is to buy his own small boat.
