Freddy Gutierrez

I went to the bank in Coroico on Saturday, and was glad to see one of our recent graduates, Freddy Gutierrez. He successfully presented his thesis in December. Here he is, after his presentation, being sworn in as a graduate of the College.


Freddy is the manager at the Coroico branch of Prodem, a bank that specializes in making small loans to farmers to support economic growth in rural areas. The bank has around 1200 clients, 75% rural, and is able to give loans that allow farmers to improve their production, or expand a small business.


Freddy is from Caranavi, a small town three hours from the College. Being from a rural area himself, he has the on-the-ground knowledge necessary to help farmers make good decisions about how to invest their loans and improve their situations.

Much success to you, Freddy! You are in our thoughts and prayers.
