José is 48 years old. He only attended the first grade of school. He is in a relationship, and his partner has a business of making and selling tortillas. He has two children, the younger of whom is in school.
José has worked in small-scale fishing for 14 years, and he learned [the work] from his father. He walks 50 minutes to arrive at his workplace, and his work schedule is from 6:00 am to 2:00 pm. In addition, he works as a mason's assistant.
He will use the loan to buy some nets that he needs for his fishing work.
José dreams of having more complete equipment for his fishing work and also improving his income.
