A loan helped to buy a cow to increase her herd.


Ely's story

Ely is a 46 years old married woman with four children. She lives in a rural village where she has been raising cattle for 20 years.

As a good partner to Vahatra, from her last loan profits, she bought construction materials. With her new loan, she will buy another cow to enlarge her herd, which will be sold when the time is right. She also wants to use it for enlarging her fields. She will save her profits with the intention of building a second and more modern house later on. She hopes for the support of lenders.
