A loan helped to buy raw materials like wholesale cloth for making hammocks.


Ormedo Manuel's story

Ormedo is a farmer born in the midst of a humble family from whom he learned the desire to get ahead thanks to his parent’s teachings. He currently works at his business Artesanías En Lana. He is in a relationship and lives with his partner and son.

His spirit to overcome, tenacity and the strength with which he awakes each day push him to seek new options to allow him to get ahead. He is requesting help with a loan with which he wishes to buy supplies like wholesale cloth for making hammocks.

This will allow Ormedo to increase production to meet demand and result in obtaining more income to continue covering some household needs. This will let others get to know his products which are well made.
