Elías is 23 years old. When he was young, he learned the skill of farming. He works growing pineapple. Also he provides vegetables and greens to the markets in his community. He is very grateful to Kiva and MiCrédito, because thanks to a previous loan, he has been able to invest in his cultivation. Therefore he requests a new loan to buy mulch, herbicides, and soil amendments to protect his pineapple crop.
His goal is to continue working with both institutions to change the quality of life of his family.
