A loan helped a farmer to plant vegetables.


Maria's story

Maria is a vegetable grower. She is responsible and dedicated to improving her standard of living.
Maria has experience managing her crops, and she always gets a good output from her harvest. She is requesting a loan from Kiva and Aldea Global so she can plant half a block of lettuce, half a block of cabbage and half a block of beets. She will purchase seeds and pay laborers to apply compost and micro-nutrient sprays.
Maria has invested the profits from her agricultural production in new plants. In that way, she is generating a larger income so she can pay for her expenses and the household necessities.
