Julio Bernardo
A loan of $1,800 helps to expand his herd of cattle and strengthen his business.
Julio Bernardo's story
Julio is 60 years old and lives in Cabanillas. He has worked in cattle raising for a number of years, an activity that he combines with small-scale agriculture due to the typical limitations of the zone. Through this work, he has managed to generate income to sustain his household.
Caring for cattle requires daily dedication, investment, and planning, especially in an environment where resources are limited and growth has to be made in an ongoing way. For Julio, expanding his herd represents an opportunity to improve his production and strengthen his economy.
He is now seeking a loan to buy more cattle, with the goal of increasing his cattle-raising activity and generating more stable income. This support will allow him to continue working in an independent manner and continue developing his principal source of sustenance.
To support Julio is to back an agricultural worker who, through constant effort and dedication to his work, continues to have faith in productive work as a means to get ahead.
