Jose Orlando

José Orlando, age 57, is married and has three children. He lives in the municipality of Macuelizo, state of Santa Barbara. For one year, he has worked buying and fattening cattle, which he learned to do from his family.

Now he is requesting a loan from ODEF for 23,000 Lempiras to buy calves to fatten, concentrated feed, vitamins, molasses, and wormers. He considers that the loan will help him to increase production and to improve his profits. This will will help his family to survive with the income from his business.
