Daniel Eloy's story
Daniel is considered to be a respectable, hardworking, and resilient older man. He lives with his family - his wife, and his children who are adults and independent. Despite their age, Daniel and his spouse work to get ahead with their own income. While his wife works in cleaning in the municipality of the city, he has worked making and selling "chifles" for nine years. He is very well known in the market in his community; people know that his products are fresh and without chemicals that would damage the health of his customers.
Daniel wants to buy a "chifle" machine, an industrial pan, and ingredients for his work, but he lacks working capital. Therefore he requests a loan to add to his funds, so he can acquire what he needs. Thus Daniel aspires to have greater economic stability for his family.
