Amanda is a 33 year old married woman whose family includes her spouse who works in a recreational tourist central and her 5 year old son named Neymar who is in school. After selling clothing, Amanda was presented with an opportunity in agriculture, specifically to raise animals.
What she enjoys most is taking care of heifers who will eventually become milking cows which is how she will earn an income to pay for household expenses such as food, medicine, and rent.
She wants to continue working in the field and needs more capital to buy heifers, balanced feed and vitamins to improve milk production, thus allowing her to obtain a better income.
