A loan helped to maintain his boat and to buy materials.


Carlos Jesus's story

Carlos is 34 years old, lives with his partner, has 2 children of 8 and 3 years old. They live in the Jaramijo canton, a very charming place for its beautiful beaches, which in turn was very affected by the sanitary emergency caused by Covid 19.

Carlos is a very responsible and hardworking man who daily seeks ways to generate income to support his family. That is why 8 years ago he decided to buy a boat to work. He goes out every day to do his work and then sell what he catches to traders. The loans are very helpful for Carlos because they allow him to improve his quality of life.

He will invest this loan in the maintenance of his boat and in the purchase of materials. His dreams are to be able to give the best to his family.
