Claudia

Claudia is 52 years old and lives with her husband and their three children. She works daily in her house and is dedicated to raising chickens and guinea pigs. In the mornings, she leaves to gather grass from her own fields which she then puts it in a store so that it can dry out and, in this manner, avoid stomach problems for her animals. Each week, she sells them in the markets closest to her area or, in other cases, people know her farm and come to buy from her directly. In this way, Claudia guarantees income for her family. WIth this business, she has been able to gather a considerable amount of capital in order to buy miscellaneous grooming items that she recently has been selling and is excited and encouraged to move forward with.

Her goal is to have more animals on her farm and to improve the construction of her pens, as well as establish herself in her new business by acquiring more customers. This is the third time that she has had a working experience with community banks and her third loan with MFP. She will continue to work hard to achieve good teamwork. The money that she is requesting is for the merchandise of her new business for which she will use 200 soles. With 2800, she will buy a well-bred cow since she also wants to obtain income through the sale of milk.
