A loan helped to buy two-needle sewing machines.


John Fredy's story

John is a 48-year-old, hardworking, and humble person. From a young age, he learned all the tailoring tasks from his mother. Thanks to this skill, he has built a livelihood and financially supported his son, for whom he is the sole provider.

The loan will be used to buy double-needle sewing machines, which he seeks to use for various operations in the garment manufacturing process, leading to higher income.

John hopes the business will allow him to pay for his son's education and provide a better quality of life. This is why he works so hard.
