Froilán is a resident of San José in the town center of El Triunfo. Despite having only a basic education, he's managed to build a livelihood for more than 5 years working in agriculture harvesting cochineal [type of insect] and providing taxi service in his town.
Now he's requesting a microcredit to install a bathroom in his house, a fundamental improvement that will provide access to adequate sanitary conditions and elevate his quality of life.
This won't only benefit him but will also support the dignity and security of his home. Froilán represents those who look for a better future for themselves and their community through strength and perseverance.
