Mauro Cojti Cun

Don Mauro Cojti Cun, 45, is married and has eight children. He lives in the village of Tecpan, Guatemala, which is six kilometers from the town hall.

Since he was single he has been a farmer, helping his father. With great dedication and effort he was able to learn the work that his father taught him. He plants his vegetables, and then his main job is to cultivate the strawberries. He has been able to overcome obstacles, but his family is growing. He needs to support them. No one in his family has graduated due to lack of funds.

He needs to invest in his crops with good fertilizer and insecticides.

His dream for the future is to see his daughters studying, having a career, and bedrooms. Now most of them share just one bedroom. Therefore, he needs to invest in his crops.
