Adding to basket
Jose is 61 years old, he studied until the second grade in the evenings as he had to work in the mornings. He lives with his partner and they have borne 6 children together, three of whom reside in the United States.
Jose works in agriculture and on the weekends butchers pigs. He learnt this thanks to his parents and it has helped to support his family. On weekends he also sells candy, ice-creams and beverages to the fans who go to watch matches at the local field. He also runs a store from his home, a business that was created through his own volition.
He needs a loan to buy a refrigerator to store his butchery products and to invest in the expansion of the store. This will permit him to sell more ice-creams and to offer cold beverages to his customers.
His plans for the future are to have a stronger business that allows him to offer a better service to his customers and to support his family.
