A loan helped to buy seeds and agricultural supplies for his potato crop.


Fredy Armando's story

Fredy is a hardworking, honest, humble man from the countryside. Thanks to the support he has received, he has managed to advance his crop of super [genetically-modified] potatoes, and to provide his children a good life. This is something he has always dreamed of since moving from his birth country, Colombia.

Fredy wants to continue boosting his crops, particularly in this season where the price of this tuber has risen in the market. For that reason he is seeking a new loan to buy seeds and agricultural supplies. This will help him with the care and maintenance of his plants to ensure a good production. In this way Fredy hopes to obtain greater earnings so he can continue saving in order to one day have his own land where he can grow his products and build his own house.
