A loan helped to buy agricultural supplies, two sickles, and a backpack pump for his crops.


Jose Benigno's story

José is 61 years old. He attended school through the sixth grade. He is in a relationship, and his partner works taking care of the home. He has three children who are independent. He lives alone with his partner.

José works in agriculture and construction jobs. He has 46 years' experience in these jobs which he learned from his father. He travels over two kilometers from his house to his place of work. He goes by foot, and works from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. On occasion his son-in-law helps him.

José needs a loan to buy agricultural supplies, two sickles, and a backpack pump for his crops. His dream is to reap a good harvest and give the best to his family.
