Bruno

Bruno is a 39-year-old man who lives with his wife and 14-year-old daughter. He buys and sells lumber for a living. He also makes starch and has his own cassava farm. He has had these businesses for 4 years, and he has been prosperous. What he likes about his jobs is that they keep him busy—since he is a very active man—and that they generate good profits for him because his products (the cassava and the wood) sell quickly at the market. In the future, he would like to export starch. This is his 3rd loan with MFP. He likes to work with his microfinance institute because his fellow members are respectful and work in harmony. With the loan that he is requesting, he will purchase wood, thus taking advantage of the summer season in his region, which is when lumber is in high demand.

Bruno tiene 39 años, vive con su pareja con la que tiene una hija de 14 años. Se dedica a la compra y venta de madera, a la fabricación de almidón, y además cuenta con una chacra donde siembra yuca. Estas actividades, las viene realizando desde hace 4 años atrás y le va muy bien. Lo que le gusta de su trabajo es que lo mantiene ocupado, ya que es un hombre muy activo, y obtiene buenas ganancias porque sus productos (yucas) se venden muy rápido en el mercado, así como la madera. Para el futuro le gustaría ser exportador de almidón. Este es su 3er créditos con MFP, y le gusta trabajar con su grupo porque sus compañeros son coordinados y respetuosos. Con el dinero que solicita comprará madera aprovechando la época de verano en su región, que es la temporada donde tiene mayor demanda.
