Alex iván

Loan description:

Alex Sánchez is 28 years old and has two young children. He has had various jobs, including working as a butcher in the central market in Loja, and cleaning rice once it has been harvested - something that he learned in the city of Santo Domingo de los Tzáchilas where he lived for four years. However, he returned eventually to his native town of Catamayo where he started working in agriculture. He rents land and grows mainly cassava and peppers. He applied for a loan from the microfinance institution Fundacion FACES in order to buy inputs for growing vegetables including items such as fertiliser and seeds. Alex's aim is to ensure that his children continue to study at college and eventually obtain professional jobs. He would also like to one day have his own house.
