Manuel De Jesus

Manuel is 59 years old. He went to school through grade 2. He is single, and he has two children, one of whom lives with him.

Manuel has worked as a day laborer for 20 years, a skill that he learned thanks to his father. He walks 10 minutes to get to his place of work, and his work schedule is from 6AM until 11AM. He also grows yuca.

He needs the loan to buy agricultural supplies to prepare the land for growing yuca.

Manuel hopes to have good harvests and to continue to generate income in order to move forward.
