A loan helped to buy a trimmer.


Jhon Alexander's story

Jhon is a young person full of energy and desire to get ahead. When his lack of job experience closed many doors to him, he decided to open his own business. He began working in landscaping on the farms in the area of Sirgua Arriba, in the municipality of Sonsón.

Every day, with his trimmer on his shoulder and a smile on his face, Jhon travels the countryside offering his work, with dedication and commitment. His spirit of improvement motivates him to seek new opportunities to grow and provide a better future for his family.

His work equipment has deteriorated. He dreams of acquiring a new trimmer that will permit him to serve his customers efficiently, and always to be ready for any work.
