Jesús, age 20, has a ninth grade education. He is in a relationship and his partner cares for the home. They live in his mother's house.
Jesús works buying and selling iron, aluminum, copper, and tin. He learned the work when he was a boy, with his mother. He goes out every day to collect materials, takes them to the scrap yard, processes them, and goes out to collect new material.
Jesús needs the loan to buy a scale to weigh the scrap he buys and sells.
Jesús dreams of expanding his business, to have greater income, to improve his family's quality of life, and to cover the basic needs of his household.
