A loan helped to buy construction materials.


Jamilo's story

Jamilo was born in Zambezia Province. He is 32 years old, married, and the father of four children, one of whom is an adult. All of them attend school. He is not responsible for anyone else. Jamilo works as a guard at a company.

He lives in his own home with his family and is asking for his fourth loan so he can buy construction materials such as zinc sheets, cement, and beams to continue work on his residence. Jamilo is a repeat borrower and used the previous loans to build his house. His main dreams are to completely finish his house, furnish it comfortably, and to marry legally.
