Carlos is married and has school age children. He is a hard-working, responsible person who has provided public transportation services for several years. He tells us that when he started out in this occupation he didn’t do too well because customers often would not pay the full fare; he has a lot of anecdotes about those days.
Carlos plans to get ahead with this line of work; to see that his wife and children succeed, that they become professionals and can reach whatever goals they set up for themselves.
Carlos will continue to work because days don’t stop coming and he must continue to feed his family because he is their only source of support.
One of his dreams is to buy his own house because he currently rents and this is a big expense for him.
He will use the requested funds to buy replacement parts for his vehicle.
He is very grateful to Emprender and to Kiva for the trust placed in him in granting the loan.
