Luis Marcelo's story
Marcelo is 45 years old. He lives in the parish of Cahuasqui in the canton Urcuqui in the province of Imbabura at the north of Ecuador.
Marcelo is a very hardworking man who works in farming. He grows two varieties of beans: bush beans and pole beans. Currently, he is growing pole beans and is preparing other fields for planting. He has a lot of experience. From a young age his father taught him how to work the land and seek the way to make an honest living to offer his family a good quality of life.
Marcelo is asking for this loan to buy compost, fertilizers, fungicides, poles, and to pay wages to maintain his pole bean crop. They have had a change of season and additional care is needed to ensure a good quality product to be able to sell in the market for a good price and thus have a better profit margin.
Marcelo is very thankful for the help and the trust that you have offered him so that he can continue working in his fields.
