A loan helped to buy two sacks of seed, a bag of fertilizer, and a backpack sprayer.


Oscar Antonio's story

Oscar studied up to the third grade. He has a partner who takes care of the household chores, and his children are now independent and work in agriculture. He lives only with his wife.

Oscar is engaged in agriculture and livestock farming. He has more than 40 years of experience, and he gained these skills from his parents. He walks more than one kilometer to reach the plot he cultivates. He works from 7a.m. to 12 noon and is assisted by one of his sons. He also works in livestock farming, an activity he has been involved in for many years.

Oscar will use this loan to buy two sacks of seed, a bag of fertilizer, and a backpack sprayer, which will have a positive impact on his life and the lives of his family.

Oscar dreams of being able to obtain his supplies to achieve a good harvest and generate better income at harvest time.
