Esteban De Jesus

Esteban is 72 years old and completed his basic education. He is married, and his wife is a homemaker. He has a daughter who is currently a student and is financially dependent on him.

Esteban provides grain-milling services within his community; he has over five years of experience in this field and learned the trade with the support of his parents. His business is located at his home, and his working hours are from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Additionally, he engages in farming. Previously, he was involved in raising cattle.

He intends to use the loan to purchase a hopper in order to make improvements to his mill. Furthermore, he plans to buy agricultural supplies to treat his crops, an investment through which he hopes to increase his income.

Esteban dreams of acquiring a newer milling machine and improving his family's living conditions.
