Antonio De Jesus's story

Antonio, 54, has a third grade education and is single. He has a daughter who is adult and is independent.

Antonio has been working as a farmer for 20 years. He learned this occupation by observing others. He goes out 2 kilometers from his house to the parcel of land that he cultivates, and he works from 6 in the morning until noon.

Antonio will use this loan to buy seeds and fertilizer and to pay the rent on the parcel of land that he is cultivating. He is hoping to obtain a good harvest, and he also wants to have a better quality of life.
