A loan helped to buy chickens to fatten and sell.

Silvia Yamileth's story

Silvia studied until sixth grade in school. She is a single mother, and her daughter depends on her. She has raised chickens for 5 years, and this is work she learned from her grandparents. Silvia's mother helps raise the chickens. Previously, Silvia sold fish.

The loan will be used to buy chickens to fatten and sell. She dreams of having a modern farm and of enjoying a better quality of life with her daughter.
