Alfredo is 52 years old and lives alone in his own home. He has three children who live independently. Alfredo has been working as a locksmith for more than 18 years. Within his home, he has a workshop where he builds doors, windows and different kinds of metallic structures upon request. In his free time, he also works as a motorcycle taxi driver. He considers his work as a locksmith quite profitable, since he has a number of regular customers who recommend him to their friends because of his high-quality workmanship. Alfredo's goal for the future is to build a new workshop in a better location that will be more appealing to his clients. This is his second loan from Microfinanzas Prisma. His favorite thing about the village bank he is a member of is that his fellow members are very responsible, communicative people. Alfredo plans to use this loan to buy materials for his locksmith's shop, like iron bars, soldering joints, and other necessary items for his work.

Alfredo tiene 52 años, vive solo en su casa propia, es padre de 3 hijos, pero ellos no viven con él. Desde hace más de 18 años viene ejerciendo el oficio de cerrajero, su taller está en su misma vivienda, donde construye puertas, ventanas y todo tipo de estructuras metálicas que le soliciten. Adicionalmente, en sus momentos libres se dedica al transporte de pasajeros y taxi en su motocarro. Él considera que su trabajo como cerrajero le es muy rentable porque cuenta con clientes regulares quienes lo recomiendan a otras personas por su buen trabajo. Para más adelante, Alfredo quiere mandar a construir un local adecuado para su taller y para dar una mejor acogida a sus clientes. Este es su 2do préstamo con MFP, y lo que le gusta de su banco comunal es que sus compañeros y compañeras son personas muy responsables y comunicativas. Con el dinero que solicita comprará materiales para su cerrajería, como fierros, soldaduras y otros artículos necesarios para su labor.
