Mauricio Fernando is 37 years old, is in a common-law relationship, and has a 9 year old son. His wife is a housewife and they live in Tosagua, an agricultural place par excellence of hard-working people dedicated to farming and raising animals.
He is a very hardworking man who looks for ways to earn his resources and with them to help his family. Although life in the countryside is very difficult because they do not have the basic services such as education and health, among others, he tries to meet his basic needs.
Working in agriculture, he has several hectares with corn crops. Currently, the crops are in full development and need fertilizers and cleaning work to prevent pests from affecting their growth. Mauricio sows at all times of the year because he has appropriate land for irrigation.
With the help of the loan, he will improve the crops and thus obtain a good harvest. This loan will be used to buy organic fertilizers and insecticides for the crops.
