Veronica Del Carmen's story
Verónica lives with her partner and two children, ages 21 and 16. Only one of them is financially dependent on her. She has no relatives living abroad. Verónica has owned a pig farm for over five years, having learned the trade through experience. Her partner helps her run the business. An advantage she has is that she can easily sell the pigs locally.
She is currently seeking a loan to expand her farm's inventory. The investment will cover the purchase of two pigs and 3 quintals of feed, which will allow her to increase her farm's stock. Verónica hopes her business will grow and become more profitable.
Her goals are to keep her business running and achieve financial stability to meet her various obligations.
