Cristóbal is a hard-working and honest person who has dedicated himself to growing coffee for 11 years. He reports that with great efforts on the part of both himself and his parents, they were able to get to the point where today they have 4 manzanas of coffee in production, of the Lempira variety. He says that last year he harvested 37 quintals of raw coffee. This product was sold to the various outlets existing in the municipality of Teupasenti.
He has the goal of continuing to grow as a coffee producer, supporting his children and providing them with a better education. His dream is to always keep his farm beautiful and to see that it always continues to provide sustenance for his family.
He is requesting the loan in group form with the following people: David, who has worked in coffee production for 6 years; María, who has worked in coffee production for 31 years; Luis, who has worked in coffee production for 5 years; Robelo, who has worked in coffee production for 9 years; and Santos, who has worked in coffee production for 6 years. All of them are requesting the loan because they do not have sufficient capital.
