Adding to basket
Alfonso is 70 years old and lives with his partner, who works as a day laborer. He considers himself a hardworking and responsible man. For 9 years he has had a business selling dry cacao and cocoa fruit pulp. His biggest challenge is keeping his land free of pests and diseases.
Additionally, his biggest dream is to update and streamline more plots of cacao. Besides this business, his other source of income is growing and selling plantains and corn.
He will use the Kiva loan to improve the water and housing sanitation and to be able to have better quality of life.
