   			María Etanislada is currently employed.  She works as an administrative assistant.   She has the spirit for improving herself in this life.  She has a child under her care.

She had the opportunity to learn, for the first time, about Ceprodel, and that it supports people so that they can improve their lives and those of their families.

That is the reason she came to request a loan to buy zinc sheeting, roof beams, and bricks.  She will do this for her well-being and that of her family.  She has hope in God that this institution is able to help her, as her motive is to keep striving to improve.

She is very grateful because she will be able to manage to live under better conditions.

   		   		   		&lt;b&gt;$100 of $1,300 raised.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

   			Started raising funds on May 25, 2012
   			&lt;br/&gt;
   		   		&lt;br/&gt;
   			Fabio Ceferino has worked as a plumber for the aqueduct and sewer system company for more than four years. He reports to the office at 7:30 a.m. to subsequently go out with a team to repair any problems that occur in the pipes throughout the city. He finishes work at 6:00 p.m.

An area of need that Ceferino faces is that he doesn&#039;t have his own house; he has been living with some relatives for a long time. Tired of that situation, he approached Ceprodel about being granted a loan to construct a little house, which would improve his family&#039;s well-being and allow him to have his own home.

Professor Álvaro David is from the town of El Sauce where he’s lived his entire life.  He is a very responsible person in charge of a home composed of his wife and children he tries to provide a better education for and to provide sustenance for his home.

This is the first loan he’s asked Ceprodel for.  He wants to buy a motorcycle to make his work easier so that he can get from his house to his place of work which is located in a district far from his town; he has to start his trip very early in order to be at work on time.

He trusts in God that Ceprodel will approve his application because it will benefit him in this aspect because his meager salary is only enough to buy basic staples and to pay his utilities at home and insufficient to buy this vehicle which is of such great need today.

   			Young Ana Julia is originally from the town of El Sauce. She has been working as an office worker at an institution for many years, an activity that has permitted her to buy electrical household appliances for the home and to improve her living conditions little by little.

As a responsible mother of her children she tries to give them the best care and wellbeing at home with adequate living conditions.

She has been working two years with Ceprodel where she has been granted 8 loans in order to buy electrical household appliances in order to improve her housing, and for this reason she is appreciative to the institution as thanks to them she has what she has in her humble home with the necessary furnishings and without it she would not have been able to acquire it because her low salary could not cover the basic living expenses of a home.

Currently she is asking for a loan in order to buy a washing machine with the goal of making her domestic chores easier to save her time between the two jobs of her house and her office work.

Ever since he started the pig business, Pedro has worked hard to improve and start other farm activities like his parents, to keep the family together.  Buying pigs is important now that the winter season is approaching, because it is when farmers use them in sowing season.  So he has asked Ceprodel for support.

   			This lady is from the town of Larreynaga where she has her eatery and snack bar business that she’s been operating for several years with her mother.  She’s married but does not have any children at present.  She’s been a Ceprodel client and has benefitted from loans that have had a big impact because she’s used them to improve the conditions of her locale thus offering better service.  

The investment she’ll make with the Ceprodel loan received will be to build two toilets and a septic tank in order to have basic services inside the infrastructure for better customer service and better hygiene.  

With this goal in mind, she approached Ceprodel to carry out such an important project that would be of high impact asking for a loan to continue building.

   		   		   		&lt;b&gt;$75 of $475 raised.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

   			Started raising funds on May 10, 2012
   			&lt;br/&gt;
   		   		&lt;br/&gt;
   			The municipality of Telica is noted for having its own local taxi service and many people utilize said services in all the existing schedules because many people work outside the locality during hours when the collective transportation system has ceased operating.

Félix owns a taxi besides being an elementary school teacher at a local school.  He’s asking for a loan to pay for his operating permit to continue providing his services legally.  At the same time, the loan will help him take care of this important requirement thus improving his conditions and family standard of living while also benefitting the community that needs said service.

He hopes that Ceprodel will provide the support to resolve his situation for his and his customers’ benefit.

   			Started raising funds on May 11, 2012
   			&lt;br/&gt;
   		   		&lt;br/&gt;
   			Currently Emilio runs his own business, in which he works as a mechanic in the town of El Sauce. Each day he repairs motorcycles that are brought in to his workshop. He is a young man with a strong spirit, who takes a can-do attitude in life. He is a father and provider to his three children, which has given him the opportunity to discover that Ceprodel provides support for people such as himself.

Consequently, he has come to apply for a loan to buy ceramics in order to improve the flooring within his home, as this will allow him to provide better living conditions for himself and his family. For him, the loan is hugely important because it will help with his family to develop.

   			Claudia was born in the town of Achuapa.  From a very young age she’s liked to work to generate her own income and since she formed her own home she’s helped her husband with household expenses and to build their house.

At present, she has her own business consisting in running a café at home that she started with her own efforts and that has been in operation for many years.  It is quite popular and well-known by residents and visitors in said town; it’s noted for the good quality of the food and for the owner’s kind service.

This is the first time she’s asked Ceprodel for a loan because she needs to have capital to buy ingredients like vegetables, chicken, beef, pork, oil, rice and soft drinks to prepare her food and refreshments to meet customer demand which is growing more every day.

   			Young Jilber Emilio is from the town of El Sauce.  He earns a living working as an employee where he has much experience.  It’s an activity that has allowed him to support his home for many years gradually making improvements to his house.

He’s worked with Ceprodel for several years; he’s had four home improvement loans and others for personal use thanks to which he’s improved his quality of life.

At present, he needs a loan to buy a motorcycle to use to get to work because his workplace is far from the city and it’s difficult for him now because he needs to get up at dawn in order to be responsible and get to work at the exact starting time.

He hopes that Ceprodel will support him with his request and he trusts in God that his dream will become a reality and he will be able to acquire this vehicle to save time at work.

   			Wilfredo is from the town of El Sauce.  As a father responsible for his home, he has worked arduously in a state institution for many years.  This activity has allowed him to raise his daughters and to build his own home, which he has been improving with the small loans that CEPRODEL has granted him.  For this reason he is grateful for this unconditional help to wage-earning people because without it they would not be able to carry out their dreams since the wages only cover household expenses.  At the moment, he wants to improve the kitchen in his house so he is asking for his fifth loan to buy cement, wire, sand, brick, iron, and to pay for the labor.

   			María Eugenia is a single mother who has taken responsibility for providing for her household, supporting her children, and giving them the best.  In order to earn a living, María Eugenia works as a high school teacher.  Her salary enables her to fulfill her obligations.  She is a determined and enterprising woman who knows how to raise her children by herself.  
&lt;p&gt;
Today she is requesting her fourth loan from CEPRODEL in order to buy paint and pay for labor so that she can give her home a better appearance.  She hopes and trusts that God will approve of her request so that she can accomplish her goal and gradually fulfill her dream of having a finished house.  The loans are the only means for this to happen because her salary is not enough to make her dreams a reality.

   			Doña Felicita is a determined individual.  She is single and was able to help her only daughter move forward.  Felicita&#039;s salary was the only means she had to help her daughter prepare professionally.  Her daughter is no longer dependent on her, so she has been able to make improvements to her home a little bit at a time.  The loans from CEPRODEL have also been a great help.  Felicita has been working as a secretary for many years and has extensive experience in this position.  
&lt;p&gt;
At the moment, she needs a loan to continue with the improvements to her home.  Her primary goal is to have completely adequate conditions so that she live decently in her retirement.  The loan she is requesting will be invested in the purchase of bricks, cement, and sand.  Once again, she hopes the unconditional support of CEPRODEL will last for several years.  It is for this reason that she is grateful.
