Fernando Cossa was born in the province of Maputo, Boane district, in the Mozal neighborhood. He is 36 years old, married, and the father of two children ages 3 and 10. His older child attends school. Fernando attended school until the second grade when he dropped out due to his parents’ financial situation. He does not support anyone else beyond his children.

Fernando grew up with his parents and only left to live in the Umpala area when he got married. He sells a variety of products and does small jobs as a stone mason. He has been in business since 2005, which he learned from friends in Mozal. He has been selling cleaning products and other basic needs items for the past 4 years. He earns 3.000,00 MT per month which he uses to support his family and pay of his loan.

He has never had a loan with other banks. With Hluvuku-Adsema this is his third loan, in the amount of 15.000,00 MT which he will use to purchase items such as powdered soap, rice, etc. His other loans were for the same activity in the amounts of 8.000,00 MT and 12.600,00 MT respectively. He learned about Hluvuku-Adsema through friends and neighbors.

He believes his business can grow a great deal and he will be able to pay off the loan without any problems so that he can have access to future loans that he will use to build a establishment made of brick.
