Santos Edis’s story

The loan will be used to purchase alfalfa seed and organic fertilizers in order to increase the grazing area for raising cattle and to raise guinea pigs. He has five years in this business. His dreams are to improve his income and his family’s living conditions. What he likes most about his business is producing more and earning money to help his family.
A loan of $2,500 helps to purchase organic fertilizers and alfalfa seed.
This loan is special because it helps farmers diversify their sources of income and better provide for their families.
