Alice's story

Alice is a 33-year-old married woman and the mother of 3 children. Her family owns a permanent house that is under construction in a rural area. She and her husband do various odd jobs to meet their family's daily needs. To increase their savings, Alice has decided to partner with Vahatra to support her business. She will use the loan proceeds to fund her pig farming business. She will buy 2 pigs to fatten with 200 kg of feed. She will sell her pigs to the town butcher. Alice will also acquire health insurance for her family. She will use the earnings from this loan to finish building her house.
