A loan helped to buy pigs.


Amparo Rocio's story

Amparo, at 33 years old, is a single mother with 3 children at 5,9 and 16 years old who are currently studying. She lives in the countryside and works for a daily wage. She lives in her parent’s home with her children and right there they have a small pen where she can raise her pigs. She notes that she has earned a living raising pigs since she was 15 years old hence she already has a lot of experience and it is a good business. Amparo is going to invest the loan in buying pigs to improve her business. Amparo aspires to continue working hard and in this way provide an education for her children so that they do not have the life that she has since the work in the countryside is very hard.
