Karina is 27 years old, she is married and has an 8 year old child. Her husband works as an operator in the east, very far from their home. He returns each month to visit his family. Karina supports herself by raising and breeding pigs to cover the expenses that arise when her husband is not there.
Currently, she has two reproductive pigs which are in just about to give birth to approximately nine piglets each.
Karina is requesting a loan to urgently build a pig pen where the pigs can live. She also needs to buy food for the new piglets.
Karina's goal is buy a house in another year.
