Jose Mauricio

Mauricio completed his formal education up to the eighth grade. He currently shares his life with a partner, who devotes herself to managing their household. Both live with Mauricio's grandmother, with whom they share their home.

Mauricio's primary productive activity is farming. He possesses over eight years of experience in this line of work, skills he acquired through hands-on practice over time. His crops are located approximately 20 meters from his home, allowing him to tend to them with ease. He generally works on his crops during the afternoons, applying dedication and consistency to ensure a bountiful harvest. Additionally, he currently works as a fare collector on a public passenger bus, although he has always maintained strong ties to agricultural work.

He intends to use the loan to purchase agricultural inputs and supplies, such as fertilizers and herbicides, that will enable him to strengthen his crops and enhance the quality of his harvest. Mauricio dreams of eventually dedicating himself to the trade of staple grains, thereby improving his family's economic circumstances and overall well-being.
