A loan helped to buy flour, eggs, oil, yeast, and a canister of gas to make and sell the bread.


Carlos Roberto's story

49-year old Carlos is single and has a son who is already independent. Carlos earns his living making and selling bread, a skill he learned while working in a similar business. His work schedule is 5 am to 2 pm when he makes the bread, and then he goes out selling the bread from 3 pm to 6 pm. Two neighbours and a friend work with him.

Carlos needs a loan to buy flour, eggs, oil, yeast, and a canister of gas to make and sell the bread. His dreams are to grow his business and improve his income.
