Serapio, age 74, is married. His wife cares for the home and also raises poultry. His children no longer depend upon him.
Serapio works in agriculture, growing corn, beans, and sugar cane. He has depended upon this work for income to get ahead with his family.
He needs the loan to buy agricultural supplies such as seeds, fertilizers, and herbicides to grow corn, beans, and sugar cane.
Serapio hopes to obtain good harvests always and to enjoy a better quality of life with his wife.
