Abel Amado

Abel is 47 years old and has a sixth-grade education. He lives with his partner, who works as a domestic employee. He has a daughter who is in school and depends on him.

Abel owns a small shop where he sells staple goods, fruits, and vegetables. He has four years of experience and started the business himself. The shop is in Abel's home, and he works from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. His partner sometimes helps him. Abel previously worked as a bus conductor.

Abel will use the loan to buy a wider variety of fruits and vegetables to stock up his shop, as well as clothing to diversify his business. He hopes that, by doing this, he can increase his income.

Abel dreams of expanding his business and improving his family's living conditions.
