Carlos has a grade 2 education and has a partner who looks after the house. He has four children who are already adults and independent. He earns his living as a day labourer, has four years of experience in this work which he learned from his family. He travels 10 minutes from his home to arrive at his place of work; he works on his land from 6 am to 11 pm.
Carlos will use this loan to buy granulated fertilizer that he can spread on his crops. His dream is to be able to improve his standard of living.
