At 35 years old, Miguel is an honest farmer, in love with working in the field and with many goals in life. For eight consecutive years he has worked growing corn, beans, squash and melon.
His entire family counts on his important source of income. A salesman who day by day gets up with hope to be able to change his lifestyle as well as his parents'.
This farmer already has experience with a previous loan from Kiva with MiCredito, with which he bought agricultural fertilizers for the cultivation of squash.
Very happy that he was able to have a great harvest, he is again resorting to financing from these organizations to buy fertilizer and minerals with the goal of applying them to his variety of crops. In Miguel's short term future, he plans to acquire new farms and grow his source of income.
