Erlinda Lisseth's story
Erlinda is a single mother who lives with her 6-year-old son and her mother. Both depend on her financially, and she has no family abroad.
Erlinda has been raising and selling poultry for 5 years. She started this business out of necessity to supplement her household income, and her mother taught her the trade, as she had done it before. She runs the business from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm, Monday through Sunday.
Erlinda is requesting a loan to invest in the purchase of concentrated feed, sorghum, vitamins, dewormer, and 400 chicks. This will be a great help because buying in bulk allows her to purchase these items at a lower cost, resulting in higher profits and a better life for her family. The risk of this investment is that the chicks may get sick, which could lead to losses.
Erlinda's dream is to grow her business and be able to provide everything her son and mother need.
