Gregorio Antonio's story
Gregorio is 67 years old. He is currently single. He has two daughters, who both have jobs, and he lives with his daughters and his granddaughter, forming a nuclear family where they support one another.
Gregorio grows basic grains, an activity which he has developed over several years and which he learned from his father, who also worked in this sector. He travels approximately 20 minutes on foot to reach his plot of land, starting his working day at 6:00 a.m. and finishing at 11:00 a.m. He also supplements his income working as a builder in his community.
The loan will be invested in buying farming supplies and renting land, which will allow him to increase production and improve the yield from his crops, earning a better income for his family.
Gregorio dreams of increasing his farming activities, improving his financial conditions and continuing to provide stability for his household through his constant hard work.
