Stiven is a hardworking young man. He lives in the countryside with his mother and two younger sisters, who go to high school. He supports his family through agriculture, which he has boosted thanks to the first loan he took out the previous year. He invested it in buying a cow. Stiven has grown and he was able to start in agriculture. He now has potato crops, one in a partnership and one on his own. His capital is not enough to cover the costs of his agricultural supplies that he needs to provide good care for his crops. That is why he is seeking his second loan, which will help him to finance the purchase of fertilizer, foliar sprays, pesticide, and to pay workers to bring the crops to harvest.
Stiven aspires to growing his work capital so that he can plant more and have the financial stability to get ahead with his family.
