Jose is 57 years old, married, has three children, and lives with his wife and children in the municipality of Morazan, Yoro. He has always worked in agriculture and has had his own crops for over 11 years. He has always harvested corn, beans, and coffee. Currently, his greatest yield and sales is of coffee which he sells in the local market. He asks for his first loan, as a group loan, to purchase manure, fertilizers and pay for weeding his coffee crop and give it good care. His idea is to help his children and continue with coffee growing.
