Gregorio, who is 62 years old, considers himself a responsible and hard-working man.
For 10 years he has had a business selling bananas. That is why his greatest challenge is to keep the banana crops clean of weeds, pests, and diseases; thus obtaining a good banana production.
Also, his great dream is to modernize banana farming. Apart from this business, his other source of income is his day job as a laborer.
He will use the Kiva loan to improve the banana plot and yield quality produce. With the additional profit, he wants to improve his home for a better quality of life.
