José is 27 years old and only completed school through the ninth grade due to financial difficulties. His partner takes care of the household duties. They have two children.
José has worked in agriculture since the age of 14. His mother taught him this line of work so that he could make a living. In addition, he does extra work by washing cars.
José needs a loan to pay for labor to help with harvesting corn and beans, as well as the cost of transporting his crops to his house. He dreams of providing his children with a quality academic education.
