Jose Bartolo's story

José attended school up to ninth grade. He is in a relationship and his partner is a housewife. He has four children; two are still his dependents. He lives with his partner and children.

José has worked growing corn for 30 years. He learned from his father. His crops are a 30 minute walk from his house, and his work day begins at 5:30 a.m. and ends at 1:00 p.m. One child helps with the crops.

José needs the loan to pay the rent for the land and to buy agricultural supplies to grow corn.

José dreams of obtaining a good harvest and giving the best to this family.
