A loan helped to fertilize and weed the cacao crop in order to have quality products for his customers.


Joel's story

Joel is 32 years old. He has an eight-year-old child. He lives with his partner who works in agriculture. He is considered to be a hardworking and responsible person.

For a good while, Joel has had a business in dried cacao and cacao fruit pulp. For this reason, his greatest challenge is to maintain the sections of land free from pests and diseases. Additionally, his great dream is to have more agricultural land. Aside from this business, he does not have any other source of income.

Joel will use the Kiva loan to maintain his cacao by fertilizing and weeding it in order to have quality products for his customers.
