Widison, age 19, is a young man of indigenous descent. He is known for his cheerfulness and responsibility. Widison lives with his parents in a cottage made of bricks and sheet metal in the community of Cochaloma Totorillas. He has been helping his parents with the farm work and raising animals since the age of 12, so he has adequate experience in both types of work.
A year ago, Widison started planting his own crop of red potatoes. He has already achieved two abundant harvests, which motivated him to plant another plot of land. For this reason, he is requesting a loan to buy seeds, organic compost, fertilizers, and other supplies. Widison aspires to have sufficient resources from his earnings to buy a small vehicle for his work.
