Bismer Sandro's story

Bismer Sandro and his family live in the city of Portoviejo. It is a place of beautiful locations which combine rural landscapes and beaches, and a varied gastronomy that is an attraction for the tourists who visit this lovely city.

Bismer is a very hardworking man who who seeks a way to earn money to move ahead with his family. He is managing to do this with the help he receives from loans, and for this he is very grateful. He asks that you continue supporting him.

He has a woodworking shop where he makes furniture, shelves, doors and windows. He works through contracts for people who know the quality of his work and seek him on the spot to do some of these jobs. This loan is to buy wood, paints and tools he needs to do his work.
