Gonzalo has had bakery for the past 20, he says his father started this business. He gets up at 4am to bake the bread he sells.
His challenge is that during rainy season it is difficult to collect wood because it is wet and he spends more money in gas.
With a loan from World Vision Gonzalo will purchase raw materials to make bread like flour, eggs, milk, yeast, sugar, wood, etc.
This loan will benefit him because he will have the materials he needs to work. He will use the profits he makes to keep on investing to make his delicious bread and support his children's education.
His goal is to establish a bakery store where he also can deliver bread to his clients address.
Gonzalo will invest the profits to purchase more materials and to repay his loan.
