Mauricio is married. His wife takes care of the home. He has three children who are dependent on him. He lives with his wife and children.
Mauricio has had a small store of staple goods for a number of years, a job he learned from his mother. His business is located at his house, and he tends to his customers from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. On occasion his wife helps him. Mauricio also works as a mason.
He needs a loan to buy sugar, corn, beans, rice, oil, snacks, soap, detergents, and toilet paper, in order to stock his store. Mauricio's dream is to see his business grow, and to always support his children in their studies.
