In the community of Febres Cordero, Jorge lives with his partner and his small daughter who is school-aged.
His house is a villa type, which is surrounded by the exuberant nature that provides him the fruits that her sells to sustain his humble home.
Jorge has a lot of experience in the cultivation of cacao and other tropical fruits that grow in the region. Jorge's crops have the traditional touch of all the farmers in his family, which is to care for and protect their crops with love and organic fertilizers that he gets from small animals that he raises in the farmyard and pens.
As he also acquires these fertilizers from the neighboring ranches, these fertilizers bring natural nutrients to his plants. Jorge wishes to expand his plantings.
For this he is soliciting a loan with which to buy organic fertilizers, seeds, compost, among other inputs, giving him the opportunity to improve his family's living conditions.
