A loan helped to buy a breeding sow, piglets, free-range chickens, guinea pigs, and feed.


Yesika Paola's story

This is Yesika, a humble, hardworking young woman who lives with her parents in a small borrowed house on the outskirts of the city. She is single and does not yet have children. After finishing her secondar education, to obtain income to afford higher education, she started her business raising small animals. To do so, she requested her parents' permission and guidance to obtain the best techniques for raising animals. That is how she focused on raising white pigs for fattening, and as a secondary activity, raising chickens and guinea pigs. Yesika wants to obtain support from lenders to invest in purchasing a breeding sow, piglets, free-range chickens, guinea pigs, and feed. This will enable her to generate better income, allowing her to cover her family's basic needs. Her future plan for her business is to have a farm that provides a source of employment.
