Carlos’ story
I have had the pleasure of working with Carlos over the last few years.
He comes from a very poor family… his dad is an amputee and unable to work, his mom was the sole supporter of the family (when there was work available). Carlos borrowed money from me over the last two years to help support his last two years of school… and he paid it all back as soon as he was finished and could work picking coffee. He now has a job at a local restaurant …and approached me about a micro loan to start a small local store selling some basic things in order to provide his family with an income. That was 3 months ago. To date he has been exactly on time with his first two payments. He has dreams of continuing his schooling, and putting his 12 year old brother through school.
