Jose, 47, lives with his wife and his 6 children. They have their own home. Jose is a farmer who works to support his household. He learned how to farm by working with his parents from the time that he was very young, as his parents are also farmers.
Jose is requesting a loan to buy 8 sacks of organic fertilizer. He will use these supplies on the crops that he is currently cultivating, so that he can increase his production of staple grains and thereby increase his income.
Jose's aspiration is to improve his household finances through his work, providing his children with better living conditions.
