A loan helped to repair and maintain a motorcycle.


Juan David's story

Several years ago, Juan resolved to become financially independent and establish his own taxi service in the municipality of Barbosa, Colombia. He is 37 years old and lives with his mother. His mother suffers from an illness that affects her memory and is economically dependent on him.

Running his own business has offered Juan a way to increase his income while still having enough time to care for his mother. Now, to keep his motorcycle running smoothly, he needs a loan to do maintenance work and some repairs.

At the moment, his main goal is to increase his income to deal with the high cost of living and to ensure his mother receives the care she needs. Juan dreams of expanding his business by purchasing more motorcycles in the near future.
