A loan helped to buy granular fertilizers to apply to his corn crop.


Jose Mario's story

José, age 68, attended school up to sixth grade. He is married and his children no longer depend upon him.

José works in agriculture. He has grown corn for more than 20 years; his father taught him this skill. The land that he farms is a 7 minute walk from his house. Occasionally he works in construction.

He will use the loan to buy granular fertilizers to apply to his corn crop.

José hopes to obtain an abundant and healthy harvest. He also wishes to enjoy a better quality of life with his family.
