A loan helped to buy concentrate and vitamins for chicken as well as to buy canoes so he can put in the concentrate and the water.


Joel Isai's story

Joel is 36 years old. He finished only fifth grade due to the economic conditions of his family. His spouse is a housewife. He has four children who depend on him and only 3 attend school.

Joel is known for being a happy man. This is shown through his love for his work. He is dedicated to caring for his farmyard chickens. His wife took the initiative and he saw it was a good idea to raise farmyard poultry. Additionally, Joel is a mason. He has a lot of experience in construction and it generates extra income. His wife is involved in the work that he performs. He gets up early every day to feed the chicken. He eats breakfast and then works as a mason.

The loan will be used to buy concentrate and vitamins for the chickens. Also he will buy canoes in which to put the concentrate and the water. The loan will help him a lot to keep maintaining his chickens in good health so in the future they will generate income once sold.

He dreams of having a large chicken farm and plans to invest his earnings in the education of his children so that they don't have it as hard as he did due to his lack of academic preparation.
