A loan helped buy construction tools.


Olman Arcelio's story

Olman Arcelio is 49 years old. He is married and presently lives with his wife and a son. He intends to use his loan to buy construction equipment such as shovels, wheelbarrows, weeding hoes, and welding equipment, among other things. He hopes that these purchases will allow him to acquire more customers and therefore bring in more profit and improve the living conditions of his family.

This is his first loan from FUDECOSUR. He had not taken out prior loans from national banks, but FUDECOSUR made it easier for him to get a loan and provided it at much lower interest rates.

This loan is special because:

It reaches rural borrowers that are considered too risky for traditional banks.
