A loan helped a member to provide maintenance to his plot of cacao, prune, do underpinning, weeding, and add soil amendments, to supply his customers.


Villa Quintiarina Group's story

Aquiles, 51 years old, has 4 children and for 22 years has worked growing cacao. He seeks to improve his yield through technical assistance.

Currently, he belongs to the Villa Quintiarina group, made up of 9 members and led by him. Aquiles considers himself to be a mature and hard-working person with desire to continue increasing his agricultural yield to improve his monthly income with the goal of having a good quality of life.

As a second income, he works renting out rooms, which allows him to have more income.

Aquiles asks for his loan to prune, do underpinning, weeding, and add soil amendments to his agricultural land, with the objective of improving his land.
