Juan Carlos
A loan of $1,500 helps to buy fertilizer, rent a plow, and hire laborers.
Juan Carlos's story
Juan is a 40-year-old humble and hardworking man who strives to move forward despite his illness. He is single and lives with his parents. He has a primary education and works in agriculture alongside his father.
Juan has pea seeds ready for planting, but he lacks the funds to prepare the land and cover other cultivation expenses.
He is requesting this loan to buy fertilizer, rent a plow, and hire laborers so he can start planting peas. This will allow him to generate income to afford his medication and food on his own, without being a burden to his elderly parents.
