A loan helped to buy agricultural supplies and strawberry seedlings.


Carlos Amable's story

Carlos is an elderly man who is hardworking, honest, and honorable. He lives in his own house with his wife. His children have formed their own households and gone to live in other cities. When he was very young, Carlos learned the skill of farming from his father. Today he earns a living growing strawberries on family land. He has more than 10 years of experience with this type of fruit.

Carlos wants to expand his cultivation to generate more income. Therefore he requests a loan to buy agricultural supplies and strawberry seedlings. His short-term goal is to have crops in rotation that he can care for with his wife, to obtain more profits and have a dignified old age.
