Alberto Aranda

Alberto is an artisan who works in plaster making masks for the fiestas and ceremonies of Todos Santos (All Saints, a religious festival which is very popular in Bolivia) as well as making works for the Festival of Alasitas and other popular fairs in Bolivia. His wife collaborates with him on the business side of things, inasmuch as this is their principal source of income with which they cover the necessities for their three children who are studying at the State secondary school. They have their own house located in the Los Andes neighborhood of the city of El Alto. The loan is intended for the purchase of raw materials (crushed chalk) in sufficient quantity to be able to satisfy the demand for his work in the marketplace. This is Alberto's seventh loan with IMPRO. His good record with payments allows his loan request to be approved.
