A loan helped to buy agricultural supplies.


Fausto Andres's story

Fausto lives with relatives in the community of Maldonado. He is single and has a young daughter who is in school that he supports economically. Fausto has many ideas to put into action, but at the moment he has built a greenhouse on a piece of his mother's land that she gave him permission to use. He is cultivating kidney tomato seeds, a plant that rarely grows areas where he lives. However, he is hopeful to bring his idea to fruition to reduce the cost of bringing these crops to his community.

Fausto is requesting a new loan to buy agricultural supplies so that he can improve his profit by producing quality plants. This will help him to fund his daily expenses, such as supporting his daughter.
