A loan helped to increase working capital to purchase chairs and umbrellas.


Kevin Mauricio's story

Kevin is 19 years old, single, and lives with his parents in Atacames, a touristic city, which offers marvelous places such as the beach to spend time with family or friends.

Kevin is a very hardworking young man who is always thinking of how to improve his financial situation. Three years ago, he began to offer services renting chairs at the edge of the beach. He began this business because he contributes to the household expenses and uses this activity to be more financially stable.

Kevin asks for a loan to increase working capital to purchase chairs and umbrellas, to have a better profit margin with his business. Kevin is very grateful for the support which is offered to him to continue with his business idea.
