A loan helped to buy cattle so that she can expand her business and improve her family's income.


Ninfa's story

Ninfa is 45 years old and lives in Cabanillas, a cattle ranching area in southern Peru. Many of the families depend on raising livestock to get ahead. Single and totally dedicated to her trade, Ninfa has found cattle ranching to be her main source of making a living. Every day, she tends to her cattle and turns her dedication into income through milk production and sales.  

Her goal is to keep growing and to do that, she needs to buy more cattle. This loan will allow her to expand her production, increase her sales, and ensure more financial stability in the future.

Ninfa reflects that strength and determination of those who work the land and with livestock with perseverance. With your support, she will be able to fortify her business and show that, with hard work and given a chance, dreams in the countryside can also come true.
