A loan helped to buy a calf to raise.


José Arturo's story

José is single and his children no longer depend on him.

José has been a farm laborer for the last 8 years. He travels 1 kilometer by bicycle from his house to the place where he works, and his work schedule is 6:00 am to 2:00 pm. He also raises cattle, and previously used to work as a construction assistant.

He needs the loan to buy a calf to raise.

José dreams of improving his income and enjoying a better quality of life.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Julie Arenson.


This loan is special because:

It helps rural farmers and fishermen, while teaching sustainable agricultural practices.
