A loan helped to buy a vending cart for selling juices and shaved ice.


Anthony William's story

Anthony is 20 years old, single, and has no children. He lives in Atacames, a tourist city similar to Montañita and Olon.

Anthony is a hardworking young man who is always thinking about improving his financial situation. Two years ago, he started selling snow cones on the boardwalk at the beach. Anthony started this business so that he could contribute to the household expenses. The business will help him become more financially stable.

Anthony is applying for a loan of 1,000 USD so that he can buy a vending cart for selling juices and shaved ice. This will help his business obtain a higher profit margin. Anthony is very excited about this loan, so he does not want to disappoint those who are providing him with financial support.
