A loan helped to buy glass, aluminum sheets, rods, hinges, and rails for his door/window fabrication shop.


Jose Erazmo's story

José is 55 years old and lives with his family in Chapuel. This community is located 10 minutes away from Tulcán, where his fabrication shop for metal doors and windows is based.

José has always been characterized by his respectful and hard-working character. Since he is from the countryside, he has the habit of getting up early and going to bed very late at night. This has aided him in being disciplined with delivering his work. He knows that through this business he is helping his family meet their daily needs.

He puts effort and dedication into his work and wishes to boost his business to generate a better income, but, once again, he needs help to buy glass, aluminum sheets, rods, hinges, and rails. In this way, he will be able to attract more customers to whom he will offer his quality of service.

José wants to have quality time with his family and provide them with all that they need until he is old or until God allows it.
