Alberson Antony

Alberson, a 23-year-old young man, lives alone in San José Luna and is the father of a one-year-old son who is his dependent.  Although he's single, his life revolves around his little one while his partner lives abroad, from whom he receives help.

For a year he has been in charge of a carwash business where he provides his customers with personalized service.  He also grows and sells loroco, a product he has sold for three years with the help of an assistant three days a week.

He recently decided to apply for a loan to improve his business.  He plans to invest in machines for his carwash and in candy and beverages to sell to his customers.  Alberson hopes these improvements will enable him to provide better service and attract more customers, which in turn will help him guarantee a more stable future for himself and his son.

He's aware that the investment carries risks, but his determination and his dreams of prospering motivate him to move forward.
