Angel Letona - Mechanic Shop

Type of Project: Loan
Request: Loan to expand mechanic shop business
Location(s): San Lucas Tolimán, Solola, Guatemala
Recipient: Angel Letona Estrada

Angel is a chauffeur by trade. In his spare time, he’s a car mechanic who works out of his home workshop. He’s a previous successful loan recipient from Trade Palms as well.

When Angel’s prior minibus chauffeuring began to diminish, he knew he had to do something to financially support his 10-member household. His thought was to expand his home mechanic workshop and focus on it as being his main source of income. He asked Trade Palms for a loan to purchase additional tools and materials for car repair.

Angel has been very grateful for Trade Palm’s support. With his income, he has been able to give 10% to the church. He readily shares his faith and talks about what God has done in his life and community. It remains his conviction to be the kind of Christian business man God wants him to be.
