A loan helped a member to buy cement.


Poseidon Group's story

Gabriel Antonio, age 31, lives with his family. His son, age 2 years, is his dependent. He has relatives living abroad.

He works independently in construction in his community and the surrounding areas. He learned the skill with teaching from his father, and with it he generates income to help with economic responsibilities.

But he wishes to improve his house, and so he requests a loan to buy cement. With this investment, he hopes to make improvement to his home, to avoid damage during the winter [rainy] season, and to have a decent home for himself and his family.

Gabriel, with Melquiades and Alfonso, belongs to the solidarity group "Poseidon". They are responsible and enterprising people who seek the same goal of getting ahead.

In this group: Melquiades, Gabriel Antonio, Alfonso
