A loan helped to buy apiculture (bee keeping) material and tools to generate a larger income for his family.


Armando's story

Armando is 35 years old, lives in the department of Chuquisaca, municipality Villa Vaca Guzman, and he lives in his own house. He raises and sells cattle. The new activity that he will undertake will be honey production, which will generate a new income to support his family that he already counts on with the training from el Centro de Educación Alternative en Nueva América (the Alternative Education Center in New America) y Fundación FAUTAPO (Foundation FAUTAPO).

Armando has a wife, who is a co-borrower on this present loan, and they have two children who are studying at the elementary school level who depend on them. With the financing that is granted to him, the borrower will earmark it for the purchase of apiculture material and tools. Therefore, they can have new work and business that will help them generate a good income for their activity. This way he can have better conditions of life and can have a better well being and live daily with his children and wife at home.
