A loan helped to buy yarn to make hammocks, nacazcol clay to make crafts, and concentrated feed for his pigs.


Juan Reynaldo's story

Juan is applying for a loan because he wants to have work capital to boost the new business he opened a year ago. It consists of making clay crafts which he learned to do five years ago. He will invest in the purchase of yarn to make hammocks, nacazcol to make crafts and concentrated feed for his pigs.

He says that thanks to his previous loan he was able to buy what he needed to maintain his different business activities such as making hammocks, making clay flowers and crafts, and running a pig farm.

He has reactivated his clay craft business to earn more income. His work schedule is from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
