Agustin Vera worked as a driver for an electronic shop for two years before deciding that he wanted to form his own small business. He began by buying small electric home products, rope and other merchandise to sell door to door.


With a loan issued to him by Fundación Paraguaya, he was able to buy a motorcycle and transport goods with much more ease. Having a mode of transportation opened up many more possibilities for the expansion of his business. While he was away on deliveries his wife stayed home to take care of their two children.


Today his dream is to save enough money to open his own store in his house. As a traveling salesman, he is away from home a lot and would like to be around his children more of the time. However, he knows that his income is the only way to give his children the opportunity to attend school, an experience he wishes he had as a child.
