Marcos studied through the sixth grade. He is in a relationship with his partner who takes care of the household duties. They live by themselves.
Marcos works in agriculture, having learned this trade from his father. He must walk 500 meters to reach the plot of land where he cultivates his crops. Marcos works from 6:00 A.M. to 11:00 A.M. with the help of his brother. He also has experience raising cattle. In the afternoons, he brings his father’s cattle to another pasture to graze.
Marcos needs a loan to buy two calves for grazing. He dreams of having his own cattle and generating more income.
