Amando was born and raised in the country, where he learned farming and animal management thanks to his father's guidance. This is how he earns enough income to pay his household expenses. He lives in the municipality of Apartadó, a place that suffered the scourge of armed conflict. This makes it a municipality where there is a risk of late loan payments.
With his enterprising spirit and his desire to get ahead, Amando is seeking the loan for the purpose of investing it in the purchase of agricultural supplies like cassava seeds and fertilizers to maintain his crops in optimal condition. He will also buy animals such as chickens.
