Juan Carlos

Juan is a 45-year-old bachelor who lives in the family home with his parents, whom he cares for and supports, as they are elderly and no longer able to work on their own. From a very young age, Juan learned agricultural skills from his parents, specifically, how to cultivate the land and raise small livestock organically, ensuring healthy and rapid growth. Drawing upon this expertise, he established a pig-rearing and fattening business at his home, an endeavor he pursues with great love and dedication, as it serves as his primary source of income.

Juan has been engaged in this activity for five years now, and it has proven highly productive; he currently owns three breeding sows, but as they have aged, they are no longer producing large litters. Consequently, he wishes to acquire new breeding stock to revitalize his business. He is therefore seeking financial assistance to purchase two sows and a boar; by no longer having to pay for stud services, he aims to transform his operation into a renowned, high-production pig farm. Ultimately, this will provide economic stability for both himself and his parents, whom he intends to care for until God calls them home.
