José Antonio Masis Sánchez

Mr. José Masis lives in the Memorial Sandino neighborhood. He is a 56-year-old married father of a 10-year-old son. His wife is a homemaker. Mr. Masis works in the operational field of the National Police with 28 years of experience. The country’s financial situation does not allow its inhabitants to construct their homes at one time, which is why they need to take out small loans so that they can improve their homes little by little. With this loan that he is requesting, he plans to construct a wall in the backyard of his house in order to provide more safety for his family because his neighborhood is very dangerous, and his wife and son are on their own all day long.
