Carlos, age 30, lives in a periurban zone called Suburbio. He lives in a house that is built from a mix of cement and reeds. His profession is providing taxi services for a cooperative called Guayaquileños. His work schedule is Mondays through Sundays from 8:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m.
Delinquency and the competition are difficult for him because he has been a victim of the delinquency.
He is requesting the loan to improve his house. He will buy cement, cement blocks, and sand. He wants to give his family a better life, and he will provide maintenance to his vehicle.
His dream is to finish his house and to be able to buy another vehicle that is bigger. He will do this in order to be able to extend his business.
