Eduardo's story

Eduardo is 36 years old, in a common-law marriage, and living in his own house with his family. He is a driver and businessman by profession. He is the father of three young children, two of whom are in school, while one is not yet of school age. He manages to cover the family expenses with his salary. He has no other role in the community.

He plans to use this loan to buy soft drinks and other beverages, juices, and broth for resale. This is the fourth time he has benefitted from a loan, having used the previous to pay for education expenses.

In the future, he plans to improve living conditions for his family, continue with his education, and expand his business.
