A loan helped to purchase agricultural supplies to care for his potato crop.


Jose Ramon's story

Ramon is a 51-year-old farmer, married, and has two children, who are now independent. He lives with his wife and they care for a one-year-old granddaughter, since their daughter cannot care for her due to work issues. She comes every weekend to visit her daughter.

Ramon, with great effort, has managed to make his house and to purchase a small plot of land to cultivate. In addition, he has some animals with which he works to be able to pay for some necessities which can urgently come up. His wife helps him to care for the animals and prepares the lunches to go out to leave the food with her husband who is working in the crops.

Ramon asks for the loan to purchase agricultural supplies which will allow him to keep his crop healthy, offering him the opportunity to have a good harvest.
