A loan helped to buy seeds and fertilizer for cultivating one plot of carrots.


Carlos's story

Carlos is a farmer who grows carrots as his main source of income. He sells his output to a local supplier. Carlos has two children who are still financially dependent on him.

Carlos cultivates different crops, but he earns the most income from selling carrots. He is requesting a Kiva loan from Aldea Global so that he can establish one plot of carrots. The loan he is requesting will be used to buy carrots seeds and fertilizers to promote better nutritional development of his crops. As a result, the carrots he produces will be of better weight and quality.
