Jaime De Jesus

Jaime de Jesus is 48 and he has worked 33 years in the cultivation of coffee, a job that he knows deeply and that has been the pillar of his sustenance. Additionally, he farms his 3 hectares and complements his income with work as a day laborer, showing his strong work ethic and his commitment to the countryside.

As the years have passed, he has built his experience with constant effort, keeping his productivity alive and facing the challenges of farming with determination.

Jaime asks for this loan to buy machinery that will allow him to optimize his labor in his coffee cultivation, to improve his efficiency and strengthen his productive capacity.

This loan will reduce the fiscal waste of manual labor and will help him increase the yield of his farm, generating more stabilized income.  With this help, he will be able to consolidate his agricultural project and continue moving ahead with improved certainty in his job which has sustained him throughout most of his life.
