Adding to basket
José studied through the seventh grade. He is in a relationship with his partner who sells snacks and fruits. They have a dependent child.
José cultivates corn, a trade that he learned from his father. He must walk six blocks from his house to reach the parcel of land where his crops are located. José works Monday through Saturday from 6:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. In addition, he raises cattle. He also works as a caretaker for another farm in his community.
José needs a loan to buy more cattle to raise, as well as farming supplies for his crops. He dreams of providing better financial conditions for his family and better living conditions.
