Bolivar Steven's story

Bolivar Steven is 24. He is single and he lives with his family in the parish San Antonio of the canton Chone, a place of excellent agriculture due to the hardworking people who are dedicated to farmwork and the raising of animals.

He is a hardworking young man who looks for a way to gain resources and in addition to forging a better future also help his family, and even though life in the country is very difficult due to lack of resources, he is trying to move ahead through his work.

He works raising pigs. He has some breeder pigs that he hopes to genetically inseminate and thus improve the line of his pigs.

He keeps his pigs for a while, and then when they have an adequate size and weight, he sells them to merchants who come to his place.

This loan is to buy embryos for the improvement of his line of pigs as well as feed and medications.
