Neri is in a common law relationship and does not have children. His family group consists of two younger siblings, his partner, and himself.
Neri works making and selling handicrafts. He began three years ago, and learned thanks to his mother. Neri says that at first the work was difficult for him, because he never had done it, but once he gained experience, it became easier for him. Neri says that he, his partner, and his siblings manage the business.
Neri is requesting a loan to invest in the purchase of clay, nacazcol [a natural black dye] and grit, to produce handicrafts. Neri intends to stock his inventory and to diversify the types of pieces he makes, to attract more customers. He will be able to generate new income to supply the basic needs of his family.
Neri's dream is that, with this loan, his business will grow, he will acquire more orders for handicrafts, and his family finances will improve considerably.
