Orlando Jose Mena Zamora

Thank you for your loan. It has been disbursed to Orlando Jose Mena Zamora by AFODENIC in Nicaragua. We are excited to watch this business grow. Over the next 9 months, AFODENIC will be collecting repayments from this entrepreneur and posting progress updates on the Kiva website.

Happy Valentine Weekend! My name is Amanda and will be the voice of this progress report; I work for Afodenic the organization that loan to Orlando José.

Orlando José esta muy agradecido por el préstamo de Kiva a través de Afodenic. Con el crédito Orlando logro invertir en cuidar sus cultivos, y protegerlos de la plaga que arrazo con parte de ellos. Los cultivos están sanos y protegidos y podrán ser vendido en el mercado a buen precio. A pesar de que con el préstamo logro salvar sus cultivos y incrementar sus ventas, todavía tiene mucho que hacer. Sus cultivos están muy explotados y necesita invertir en nuevos cultivos. Espera poder pagar este crédito y sacar otro que le permita seguir avanzando. Aprovecha la oportunidad para agradecer a Kiva por su prestamos, y los miembros de Afodenic que lo han tratado muy bien en los cinco años que tiene de contar con su apoyo.

Orlando Jose is very grateful to Kiva and Afodenic for the loan they granted him. With the money from the loan he invested on medicine for its crops and poison to protect his crops from a plague than destroyed part of his harvest. Now his crops are healthy and growing and he can sell them at a good price in the market. He uses the profit from his sales to pay for his loan and support his family. The loan has helped him a great deal but there is much to do to improve his harvest. His crops are exploited and he needs new ones to get better products. He hopes to pay this loan and request a new one to keep moving forward. He wants to take the chance to thank both Kiva loaners for their help, and Afodenic’s members for treating him well during the five years they have been supporting him.
