Adding to basket
Lester’s life has been rooted in cultivating basic grains and vegetables, a tradition that he inherited from his father. He developed this passion for farming over time. Each morning before dawn, he wakes up so that he can work the land with sweat and dedication. His effort is just as indispensable as the land.
Lester is married and has two financially dependent children. Each decision that he makes for his farm not only affects his income, but also the future of his family. Lester is requesting a Kiva loan from Aldea Global so that he can supplement his existing funds to buy certified seed potatoes. He plans to sow two plots of potatoes and use the profits to buy merchandise so that he can open a small grocery store that he will manage with his loving wife.
