Luis Fernando's story

Luis Fernando is 33 years old, in a common-law marriage, and is the father of a child who inspires him each day to continue fighting for a better future. Six years ago, with effort and dedication, he undertook his own business making bakery products in the municipality of El Bagre.

With his hands, he not only makes bread but also opportunities for his family. His greatest dream is to see his undertaking grow and offer his loved ones a decent life. Today, Luis Fernando needs a loan to purchase an industrial stove and a dough sheeter, key tools to increase his production and improve his income.

This investment will allow Luis Fernando to optimize his work, increase his profits, and continue building a solid and sustainable business.
