Jorge managed to complete his basic education. He currently has a partner and they live together.
Jorge works as a farmer and has more than 6 years of experience. His father was the one who taught him the work of farming. The land is 30 minutes from his house and he travels on foot. He starts works between 5am and 11 am. He also works as a bricklayer's assistant.
Jorge requires the money to invest in the purchase of a new barn and in farming inputs for planting. It will have a great impact on his crops and thus to cover his household expenses.
Jorge dreams of having good harvests and thus be able to sell the corn.
