Job Armando's story
Job attended school in his local neighbourhood until Year 6. He is currently single, has no children, and lives with his parents.
Job works mainly in farming, a trade he learnt from his father and brothers. Maize and vegetables are commonly grown in his area, so he works on planting and tending these crops. To carry out his work, he walks for about 20 minutes from his home to the fields where he works. In addition, for around five years he has also been working as a bricklayer, which allows him to generate additional income.
The loan will be used to buy farming inputs such as compost and fertilisers for planting his crops. With this investment, he hopes to achieve a good harvest that will provide produce for both family consumption and sale.
Job dreams of being able to continue working and improve his living conditions. In the future, he hopes to own his own home and start a family, with whom he can live in safety and stability.
