A loan helped to buy fertilizers to apply to his coffee crop.


Juan's story

Juan is 69 years old. He didn't have the opportunity to attend school. He is in a relationship and has 4 children that do not depend upon him.

Juan has been working in agriculture, specifically in the raising of coffee, since he was 12 years old. He learned this skill from his father.

He walks 20 minutes to the parcel where he farms, and his work schedule is 5:40am to 3:00pm.

He needs the loan to buy fertilizers to apply to his coffee crop.

Juan plans to continue working as long as God allows it and also wants to see his children being always happy.

Translated from Spanish by Kiva volunteer Charissa Nelson.


This loan is special because:

It enables farmers to plant basic grains to feed their families.
