A loan helped to purchase a drill, an electric compressor, and a polishing machine for his job as a construction worker.


Santos Salomón's story

Santos went to school through 4th grade. He is single but he has a daughter who he supports financially.

Santos has been a construction worker and a farmer for many years, jobs that he learned from his father. He goes to different places to do all types of construction work like building walls and restrooms, repairing roofs, installing floors, etc. He keeps himself busy from 6:00 in the morning until 3:00 in the afternoon.

He will use the loan to purchase a drill, an electric compressor, and a polishing machine for his job as a construction worker.

Santos dreams of saving for a better life.
