A loan of $1,300 helps to buy farm supplies such as compost and insecticide.
Elmer Augusto's story
Elmer lives in the Chiyax canton, a beatiful place with hardworking people. He is 35 years old, married and has four children, two of which attend school.
One of Elmer's priorities is to have his own business so he can have a fixed income to support his family. Therefore Elmer has launched a business growing vegetables. He has been doing this for several years and it has helped him enormously in his business activity.
Elmer's dream is to improve the quality of his produce so he has visited the association to apply for a loan to buy farm supplies such as compost and insecticide.
With this support Elmer will be able to continue his crop-growing activity with certainty.
