José Aparicio's story

José studied until 3rd grade at school, lives with his partner, and works in a small shop. He has three children who are studying and depend on him.

José makes a living through agriculture and is also a motorcycle driver. He has been working in these trades for more than 19 years. He begins his daily work at 6:00 a.m. and ends at 3:00 p.m.

José will use the loan to buy agricultural supplies and pay for the labor to grow basic grains. He hopes to have good crops and provide food for his family.
