Carlos Raul

Carlos is 19 years old. He completed his education up to the eighth grade, is single, and lives with his mother and sister.

Carlos works in agriculture, specifically in coffee cultivation, drawing on five years of experience he gained from his father. Every day, he must walk 40 minutes to reach his workplace, and his workday runs from 5:20 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. His father also participates in the work.

He intends to use the loan to purchase fertilizers, herbicides, and other agricultural supplies to treat his coffee crop, through which he hopes to secure a bountiful harvest.

Carlos dreams of improving his family's economic situation.
