The woman in the photo is called Malalatiana. She is a 24 year-old single mother. She lives with her parents in a permanent family home. She owns a mobile (SMS) banking point of exchange. She also farms.
To support her agricultural activity, she takes loans with Vahatra. She has been a partner for a year. Her previous pig farm was a success. She was able to increase the family's savings with her earnings.
For this new loan, she will raise cattle. She is going to buy a heifer with the money from this loan. She will take good care of her heifer to ensure good milk production in a few months. She plans to buy a plot of land in the future.
