A loan helped to buy agricultural supplies, such as seeds, fertilizers, and herbicides for his crops.


Marcelo De Jesus's story

Marcelo is 51 years old. He is married. His wife works taking care of the home. He has three children, one of whom is dependent on him.

For seventeen years Marcelo has worked as a mason and driller of artisanal wells. He also works in agriculture. His son helps him with this work.

Marcelo needs a loan to buy agricultural supplies, such as seeds, fertilizers, and herbicides for his crops. His dream is to have a good harvest and generate greater earnings.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Laurie Hiller.


This loan is special because:
