A loan helped to buy agricultural inputs for coffee, fuel, and documents for a motorcycle.


Edison Alejandro's story

Edison, a dedicated, responsible, honest man who is 28 years old, started a coffee-growing business. He learned it through experience, and it has enabled him to take care of the latent economic needs in his home. He resides in a post-conflict zone hit hard by violence and forced displacement; therefore managing this loan has a greater risk.

Edison wants to request a loan to buy agricultural inputs for coffee, fuel, and documents for a motorcycle. With his business, he wants to improve his living conditions and that of his loved ones, and to have a sustainable business over time.

Never give up is Edison's way of thinking, never be overcome by adversity, because he believes in his abilities, and around him there are people who support him and want him to be a great and very prosperous man.
