Manuel, 37, lives with his partner and their 3 children in the indigenous community of Mishquiyaquillo, Lamas, Peru. He has been growing cocoa for eight years on 2 hectares of land.
Manuel will invest the loan into weeding his cocoa crop, with the intention of increasing and improving the quality of his production. This is his fourth loan with Norandino, and he is demonstrating responsibility in hoping to improve his land. With his earnings, he will pay family expenses, provide his children with an education, and meet all their needs.
