A loan helped a member to buy more sheep and sell them.


Jeunesse Group's story

Tienting is a 39-year-old farmer. He is the one holding the ram. He is a married father of seven, ages 12 years – 5 months, three of whom are boys, and two of whom are girls. Two of the girls and two of the boys attend school. His wife is a housewife but does the truck farming to help her husband.

Tienting didn’t have the opportunity to go to school, but he is turning to IFM to have more funds and buy a lot of sheep to raise.

He stocks up at the nearby markets.

His dream is to have enough profits from animal farming to buy a 3-wheeled motorcycle to secure the transport of these sheep’s feed and ensure sales.

The obstacles he encounters in animal raising are illnesses and theft.

His estimated monthly profit is 35,000F.
