Rigoberto and Odilia Castro, agricultural producers in Guatemala, saw an improvement in their business and the lives of their children with a loan they obtained from our partner Federación Nacional de Cooperativas de Ahorro y Crédito (MICOOPE) as part of the USDA-funded Food for Progress program. 

Whether it’s sending children to school or having the necessary resources to care for them during times of illness, the loans play a vital role in uplifting both families and communities. Watch the video to learn about the significance the program has on families in rural Guatemala.
