Jose Alirio

José lives in the coffee-growing hills of Argelia, where the smell of coffee permeates each morning. He is 67 years old with the strength of an oak, and the passion of a young man. With every coffee bean he harvests, José is not only growing a product of excellence, but is also cultivating his own dreams.

For a number of years José has worked growing coffee. This job has allowed him to be independent and to provide for his family. In the joy of every cup of coffee, there is a little piece of José's effort and dedication.

Nevertheless, as with any farmer, José is faced with constant challenges, such as the need for fertilizers and mulch to keep his crops healthy and productive. In order to increase his production and improve the quality of his beans, José needs to acquire high quality fertilizers. With this new input he will be able to strengthen his plants and obtain a more abundant, higher-quality harvest.

You can help José with his dream of expanding his coffee crop and improving his quality of life. With your loan you will be helping José acquire the necessary fertilizers to strengthen his plants and ensure a more abundant crop.
