A loan helped to buy more iron to sell.


Olman's story

Olman is a 34-year-old single man with a son. He lives in El Progreso, Yoro, with his mother and siblings.

For the past seven years, he has made a living by buying and selling scrap metal, including iron, plastics, and copper. Previously, he worked as a driver. Olman is currently seeking a loan of 30,000 lempiras from ODEF. He plans to use the loan to buy more iron for resale.

This loan aims to increase his profits and ultimately improve his family's quality of life.
