Cruz, age 30, attended eighth grade in school. He is in a relationship. He has a young child who attends school and his spouse cares for the home.

Cruz works growing basic grains such as corn and beans. He has four years' experience in this work, which he learned from his father. To get to the place where he has his crops, he walks for one hour from his house. He works Monday to Saturday from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.

He will use the loan to buy agricultural supplies such as fertilizers, mulch, and more, for the care and protection of his crops.

Cruz wishes to increase his cultivation and to improve his production, so that his income will increase, and to improve his and his family's living conditions.
