A loan helped to buy taro seeds.


Sergio Roberto's story

Sergio is a taro farmer. He's been running this business for six years, strengthening production every day with the help of his children who join in to plant these vegetables in their spare time.

His partner is in charge of selling the crops in the local market. Segio's family is an example of a family working together to accomplish big goals.

In the hopes of continuing to cultivate quality vegetables, Sergio approached one of MiCredito's branches for a Kiva loan to buy taro seeds for planting. This time, he'd like to produce more than any other time because in the near future he'd like to buy his own land, generating less expenses for each crop.
