Carmelo is an artesan who works with leather and suede. He creates footwear for men, with the help of one assistant. His products are sold by the dozen in the popular fairs in La Paz. He counts on this income to take care of himself and his wife. They live in the zone of Tupac Katari in the city of El Alto.



The loan will be used to purchase leather and other materials to grow his business. This is fourth loan with Impro. With his good compliance with the previous three loans, he qualifies for this other loan to help meet the demands of his market.



Carmelo es artesano en cuero y cuerina; elabora calzados para varones y tiene un ayudante. El producto es comercializado por docena en las ferias populares de la Ciudad de La Paz, constituyéndose en su fuente de ingreso con que mantiene a su esposa y a él mismo; vive en la Zona de Tupac Katari de la Ciudad de El Alto.

El crédito requerido será utilizado para incrementar su capital de trabajo (compra de materia prima cuero, cartón, etc.).

Es el cuarto crédito con Impro y su buen comportamiento de pago en los tres créditos anteriores le permite acceder a otro préstamo para que pueda satisfacer la demanda que tiene en su mercado.
