Tulio Ernesto's story
Tulio is 54 years old. He is hard-working and humble. He learned all the agricultural labors when he was young, taught by his father. Thanks to this, today he lives from his business. He has a plot of land with coffee plants. The harvest of this food is collected and sold in Ciudad Bolívar municipality.
He is currently single, the head of a family with two children who throughout their lives has provided them as best he could.
Tulio says that the loan he will get will be used to cut down a plot of coffee that is old, maintaining his plantation during cold weather and buying manure to apply to the coffee plants. This will allow him to face the challenges that occur when he doesn't have sufficient capital as they are quite costly.
Tulio is grateful for the opportunity he is being provided by the corporación and the Kiva lenders to develop as an independent and progress with his business. It will allow him to enjoy better life opportunities.
