Edgardo's story
Edgardo is married and has two children, ages 1 and 6. He worked for a business that closed down 2 years ago and with the liquidation began his own business of distribution of shellfish and fish.
Edgardo has his own rowboat that he uses as a vehicle for distribution to restaurants and stores in 5 rural communities. Edgardo also sells products that he fishes for at local markets that he goes to.
He wants the loan to pay for installation of a freezer to keep the fish frozen and be able to have a greater amount to sell.
