A loan helped to buy fertilizers, soil amendments, and minerals, and to pay his farm's hired hands.


Marvin Jose's story

At 47 years of age, Marvin is the father of three children, but not all of them are his dependents.

Previously, he engaged in producing basic grains; later he bought a plot of land and began to grow coffee, always with the support of his family.

At this time, he has turned to the Kiva loans from MiCredito to buy fertilizers, soil amendments, and minerals, and to pay his farm's hired hands.

His next steps will be to set up an irrigation system and to improve the conditions of his house.
