Guayaquil Group's story

Francisco works informally as a day laborer and bricklayer. For the past 40 years, he has worked to generate income to help with the financial responsibilities. However, he wants to make improvements to his home, so he is requesting a loan to buy corrugated metal sheets. With this investment, Francisco hopes to repair the roof of his home so as to avoid damage during the winter season. This will also provide a secure and decent home for his family. He dreams of providing his children with an education and a good future.
