Luis

Luis is 46 years old and lives with his wife and their 3 children in their own house. For more than 20 years, he and his wife (who appears in the photo) have worked tirelessly in agriculture and livestock. Since he is a veterinarian by profession, he takes care of their animals with a lot of devotion, and, many times, his neighbors come to him when they have an emergency with their animals. This serves as another source of income for him. He gives good food to his animals, and because they are healthy, his animals are in high-demand in the livestock market in his area. For this reason, Luis wants to have a larger stable, with the necessary infrastructure to care for his animals in the best way. This is his fourth loan with MFP. He enjoys being a member of his community bank, and he has good relationships with his peers. The money that he is requesting will be invested to buy a young bull to increase the amount of livestock that he has.

Luis tiene 46 años, vive con su esposa y sus 3 hijos en su casa propia. Desde hace más de 20 años, junto a su esposa (quien aparece en la foto) se ha dedicado incansablemente a las actividades agrícolas y ganaderas. Como veterinario de profesión, cuida de sus animales con mucho ahínco y muchas veces sus vecinos acuden a él cuando tienen alguna emergencia con sus animales, lo que le significa un ingreso económico adicional. La alimentación que brinda a sus animales es la adecuada y por lo que los mantiene en buen estado de salud para ser bien cotizados en el mercado ganadero de su zona. Por tal razón, Luis desea tener un establo más grande y con la infraestructura necesaria para criar a sus animales de la mejora manera. Esta es la cuarta vez que tiene un préstamo con MFP, para él estar integrando en un banco comunal es un espacio muy agradable donde comparte buenas relaciones con sus compañeros. El dinero que viene solicitando será invertido en la compra de un torete para incrementar la cantidad de ganado que tiene.
