A loan helped to buy seeds, fertilizers, compost, pesticides, and herbicides, and to improve the land.


Mario Orlando's story

Mario, age 62, lives in his own house with his two daughters and his wife. He has been working in agriculture, growing corn and beans, for 30 years. When he has his harvest, he sells it in the surrounding villages. He has a lot of fixed customers.

Mario is requesting a loan to buy seeds, fertilizers, compost, pesticides, and herbicides, etc. He will improve the land that is shown in the photo in order to be able to continue with his crops. This is his only source of work. This way he will have better earnings.
