Richard, 60, is a married man who is the father of 5 children. Three of his children are already independent. He lives on the outskirts of the city in his own home. Richard works cultivating vegetables, an activity that he carries out with the support of his wife. For more than 20 years, he has raised pigs and cultivated potatoes and carrots.
In collaboration with Vahatra, Richard is continuing with his efforts to strengthen the financial stability of his family. With his new loan, Richard is planning to buy 3 pigs to fatten, along with pig feed. He will also buy seeds and fertilizer for his vegetable garden. Later, his produce will be delivered to the capital where it will sell easily thanks to its quality.
