Silvio Antonio Rivas Masis

Señor Silvio Rivas is 40 and lives in the Augusto Cesar Sandino neighborhood in the capital city, Managua. His wife is a housewife, and all three of their children are in school. He works at a gas station, where he sometimes works days and sometimes works nights. He has had this job for a year and a half. He hopes to find another job where he can make more money. His plans for the future are to improve his home to give his children safety. Because of the lack of financing, he hasn't made improvements to his humble home. Thanks to the loan that Afodenic is offering him, he will be able to buy construction materials like cement, iron, metal, and bricks. He is going to build a room so his house will be in better condition.
