Adding to basket
53-year-old Gladys is married, and although she no longer has dependent children, she continues to work with the same energy as always. She lives in a rural area where, for the past 10 years, she has been raising free-range chickens. She raises them on natural feed until they are ready for sale. She plucks and cleans them, then sells them by the pound at her stand at the local market.
Gladys dreams of going a step further: she wants to expand her poultry farm infrastructure and open a small branch that would generate employment. To achieve this, she needs a loan that will allow her to invest in more infrastructure and purchase more chicks to increase her stock.
Beyond business, her greatest wish is to see all her family members well, stable, and happy with their personal lives.
