A loan helped to buy equipment and tools.


Abraham's story

Abraham is 53 years old. He is Peruvian, and obtained his education in architecture in Peru. He came to Brazil in 2000 at the invitation of a company owned by a friend he met at the university.

When he moved, he lived near the architecture studio where he worked. After two years, he went to Germany to specialize in civil construction. He lived and worked in Germany until 2015, when he once again returned to Brazil. He started his own company, and since then has continued to develop and ensure his family's support.

With help from the loan, he plans to invest in the purchase of new equipment and tools for his work.

Abraham thanks the investors for this opportunity.
