Jose Matilde
A loan of $1,000 helps to buy three calves, an investment that will allow him to increase his production and strengthen his livestock business.
Jose Matilde's story
José is married; his wife makes hammocks, and together they have four children. As a family, they work hard to ensure their well-being.
José has 32 years of experience raising cattle and selling milk, a skill he learned from his father and which is his main source of income. The corral where he keeps his animals is near his house, making it easy to care for them daily. He also owns a nixtamal mill, which he uses to provide services to the community.
He will use the loan to buy three calves, an investment that will allow him to increase his production and strengthen his cattle business.
José's dream is to own a cattle ranch with the right facilities and modern technology. His family's plans are focused on improving their quality of life, growing together, and supporting each other through their productive activities.
