Oliverio's Story

Oliverio is a person with good references, he has many friends and is originally from Acatepec community in the state of Guerrero.
He lives in a small house built of adobe, tiled roof with a rustic floor.
He has 2 children that are the most important part in his life. He started his business with great difficulty,which he provided his services in different places, came home very late, almost dusk and that at a set time the bus no longer goes to his community and he sometimes had to walk back home.
Oliver bought a shoe repairing machine which started his new business. The request is made for a new machine since the old one is obsolete and he needs to work quicker because he fortunately has many customers.
His dream is to develop and offer a wide variety of products manufactured by the same machine, for example: sandals, belts, wallets and glasses holder. He wants to provide for his children and his wife a better life.

Oliverio

Oliverio Brito García says that he's very happy with the loan that he received. He made better profits and decided to buy faster and more efficient equipment to repair shoes with. He was also able to buy more glue, shoe soles, leather, and colors for the shoes.

He's known in his community as "Olí", a very kind person and a very hard worker. Everybody appreciates him a lot.

He will continue being a shoe repairman because his clientele is increasing, and he may soon need someone to help him with so much work. He gets many orders daily, and this has really motivated him to improve his workshop.

Oliverio says, "Because of the support that World Vision has given me I can make my family happy. They lack nothing, have good food, and my children can continue studying, without giving up."
