Adding to basket
As the bright sun rises, Luis prepares for a day working in the fields, preparing the land to get a good production of beans and corn on the land that his family owns. Luis has one child who is in his care and who is his main motivation to get ahead every day with his work. In his spare time, Luis also sells men's shoes at wholesale and retail. He gets very good profits, so that he is able to cover all of the household and family expenses.
In order to continue to grow his business, Luis is requesting a loan from Kiva and MiCredito to buy construction materials such as stones, sand, and cement, and to pay for labor to build a water well. In the near future, he wants to grow vegetables to take advantage of this vital liquid, and put in irrigation so that he can cultivate tomatoes and peppers.
