Edwin
A loan of $1,200 helps to buy more cattle and strengthen his production.
Edwin's story
Edwin is 33 years old and lives in Cabanillas, a rural town where agricultural conditions are limited. Many families in the area supplement their income through animal husbandry. In this environment, working in the fields requires consistency, adaptation, and a continuous effort to support the family's finances.
From a young age, Edwin has shown an interest in agriculture and livestock, activities he still engages in today. Over time, he has learned to manage his crops and care for his animals, which have become his primary source of income. However, growing up in an area with limited resources means that progress is slow, and he must make the most of every investment opportunity.
Currently, he is seeking financing to buy more cattle, which will allow him to expand his production, improve his income, and achieve financial stability. This support is an important step for him to continue growing in a region where formal opportunities are scarce.
Supporting Edwin means endorsing a young worker who is taking a chance on agriculture and livestock as a means to build a safer future for himself and his family.
