Marvin Jose's story

Marvin is a role-model who has managed to get ahead even though his wife died.

Marvin has been a tailor for 23 years. He started when he was 16 years old as he has always liked fashion. Marvin also has a business selling "nacatamales" (maize, meat and rice wrapped in banana leaf) to customers.

Marvina has always wanted his designs to be known across the world and knows that, little by little, he will achieve this.

To continue making his designs and to sell them during the Christmas period, Marvin is applying for a loan in order to buy material and make various designs.

Marvin's biggest wish is to have his own line of clothing.
