Candido
A loan of $600 helps to pay the rent for the land on which he grows his crops in order to continue developing his farming business.
Candido's story
Cándido studied up to the fourth grade in school. He is currently married and his wife is a housewife. He has two children and all four of them live together, sharing family life as well as the daily struggle to get ahead.
Candido is a farmer, mainly growing corn, beans and other basic grains. The fields are about one kilometer from his house, and this is where he goes to perform his farm work. At certain times day laborers assist him with the field work. Thanks to this business, he is able to generate income to support his family as he later sells the grains within his community.
He plans to use the loan to pay the rent for the land on which he grows his crops which will allow him to continue developing his farming business and ensure that his crops have a good yield.
Candido dreams of continuing to work and strive to raise his family, providing them with the best opportunities and a good future through the fruit of his labor.
