A loan helped to buy agricultural supplies such as fertilizer and insecticide.


Cristobal's story

Cristobal lives in the Patzité Village, a beautiful and warm place. He is 42 years old and a father. Two of his children are currently in school.

One of the businesses Cristobal has been pursuing is growing large amounts of corn. He feels blessed where he lives, as the corn harvest occurs twice a year. This also contributes to a higher income. He also grows coffee. This has allowed him to get ahead, as it provides him with a good profit to cover his family expenses.

Something that concerns Cristobal is improving his corn crop. Because of this, he approached the Association, hoping to apply for a loan and invest it in the purchase of agricultural inputs such as fertilizer and insecticide. This will allow his crop to yield a good harvest in the short term.
