Jose Miguel's story

José is 28 years old and lives in the province of Esmeraldas. He is single and currently lives with his mother and siblings.

José sells meat products and a few provisions. His business activities enable him to generate the necessary income to cover his expenses, especially food and other household needs. José is an optimistic young man who needs to get ahead on behalf of his family.

He is requesting a loan to increase his inventory of products and to sell food such as meat with stewed onions and tripe stew. José is grateful for the help of the lenders. Thanks to this assistance, he will be able to continue generating income to support himself and provide for the family he loves so much.
