Alvaro Antonio's story

Alvaro is a young man who is 32. His occupation is buying and selling bananas to make a living. He has succeeded in providing for his family with this business.

He has identified the need to improve his home, and so he has returned to the offices of MiCredito to ask for a Kiva loan. He plans to use the loan to buy bricks, sand, rocks, cement, and iron, and to pay labor costs to build a house.

In the future, Alvaro hopes to acquire a plot of land.
