José is 46 years old. He wasn't able to go to school because his parents thought that it wasn't important and they had him start working when he was little. He is married and has no children. His wife sells tamales and takes care of the home.
José has sold bread, atol and tamales for six years. He learned this work with his brothers from the church and his wife.
In addition, he helps a relative in a carpentry shop located across from his house.
José needs a loan to buy a motorcycle for transportation to sell bread and tamales.
José's dream is to improve his home.
