A loan helped to maintain 25 manzanas (a local land measure) of productive coffee.


José's story

For over seven years José has been immersed in farming. He has wrought a solid path as a coffee producer. His commitment and tenacity are reflected in each plant growing on his modest coffee plantation. The passion he devotes to this work is more than a job; it is the day-to-day sustenance that feeds his wife and son. Each harvest not only represents coffee beans but also a road towards a better quality of living for his small family. The love he uses to care for his plants is the same that nourishes his family ties. His tireless effort is the motor that drives a more prosperous future for those he loves.

José is requesting financing from Kiva and Aldea Global to maintain 25 manzanas of productive coffee, fertilizing to assure his harvest and herbicide to control the undergrowth and money to pay for labor. This will improve his coffee production for this next harvest.
