A loan helped to purchase thread to make and sell hammocks and canvas bags.


José Leonardo's story

José is married with three children, one of whom is dependent. He has many years’ experience in artisanal work, making hammocks, canvas bags, and curtains. He also raises chickens, works part-time as a janitor at a town hall, and he is a farmer. José will use the loan to purchase thread to make and sell hammocks and canvas bags. Previously, he was granted three loans, and he has already paid them off. He dreams of continuing to work and having a better home.
