Jose Ricardo
A loan of $800 helps to buy merchandise.
Jose Ricardo's story
In a little borrowed house Ricardo, a humble man of African descent and the father of two loving children, established the small store with which he complements his daily income, to meet the basic needs of his children. Ricardo and his spouse work shoulder to shoulder to get ahead. While he goes out to work as a laborer, his spouse minds the store that they keep very well stocked so that customers find everything they seek.
In view of customer demand, Ricardo wants to expand his store and, in the future, make it into a micro-market. To do that, he requests a loan to buy more merchandise, to stock groceries and vegetables in his store. He hopes in the future to be able to provide jobs for young people who need some help.
