José Darío is 52 years old, in a common-law marriage, and has one child. He lives with his family in the municipality of San Marcos, Santa Barbara. For six years, he has had his convenience store business, an activity he does in his own home. Previously, he was a farmer.
He is currently asking ODEF for a loan, for the amount of 32,000 lempiras, which he plans to invest in the purchase of churros, cookies, soft drinks, shampoo, sweets, deodorant, etc. This investment will help him stock his business with new products. His goal is to grow his business and, so, to help his family financially.
