Britaldo's story

Britaldo is 47 years old and married. He lives with his wife in his own house made from basic materials in the Quercotillo district, Cutervo province, Cajamarca region, in the northern highlands of Peru. The community where Britaldo lives is a small rural area where the inhabitants devote themselves primarily to agriculture, livestock, and commerce.

He sells general groceries like sugar, rice, cooking oil, and noodles, among other products. He has experience in the business, and he has very good personal and work references in the area.

He will use the loan to buy a greater quantity of merchandise for his business. By doing this Britaldo is looking to increase the stock of products in his store in order to be able to satisfy the tastes and preferences of his customers. This investment will allow him to have greater earnings in order to improve his financial situation and, therefore, his quality of life.
