Jorge Domingos Jasse

Jorge Domingos Jasse was born in the city of Beira (Mozambique's second capital, 1200 km away from Maputo in the middle of the country). He is married and has four children between the ages of 4 and 18. Three of them attend school. He went to school until 7th grade, when he became ill and had to stop. In addition to his children, he supports his brothers, sending them money every month.

He left Beira in 1980 to carry out his obligatory military service in Maputo, and hasn't left Maputo since then or returned to his hometown. He is no longer enlisted and has worked as a security guard at the G4 company for more than eight years. He was trained as a soldier in Boane, which has one of the largest barracks in the country. He gets a military pension of 1500 meticals a month, and earns 3000 meticals a month as a security guard.

He lives in his own home, and plans to use the 15,000 meticals requested to buy construction materials in order to build a brick house. This is his third loan. His other loans were for the same purpose (8000 and 14,500 meticals). He learned about Hluvuku through friends and colleagues who live in Boane.

He's never had a loan from other banks or similar institutions, and he hopes to pay off the present loan in order to request further assistance, with the goal of completing and furnishing his house. He has voluntarily agreed to share his story on Kiva's website.
