Jesús Francisco, age 33, lives with his family in Santa Cruz de Yojoa, Cortés. For more than ten years, he has worked producing pineapple on family land, having worked previously as a day laborer.
He requests a loan for 25,000 Lempiras to buy mulch, fertilizers, and seeds, and to pay workers to expand his cultivation. With this investment, he seeks to improve production and generate more income, permitting him to expand his business. His goal is to strengthen his agricultural work and to ensure a better future for his child.
