A loan helped to do some home renovation.


Mario's story

Mario is 48 years of age, is married, and is the father of two children; one is 22 years old and the other one is 13.

Mario is a carpenter, and his business has been up and running for 5 years. Mario works alone; he cannot pay a helper, but he does all of the work in advance. He tries to avoid delays as much as he can.

Given that the situation is stable, Mario would like a loan for home renovation so that his children will have a more comfortable place to live.
