Alexander

Alexander is 35 years old. He completed his basic education, but due to his family's lack of financial resources and the fact that he lived far from the city, he was unable to continue his studies. He is currently in a relationship and lives with his partner, who earns a living selling tortillas.

He began working at the age of 16, assisting his parents with agricultural tasks, primarily the cultivation of staple grains and vegetables. Currently, he focuses on raising small livestock, specifically poultry, an activity he learned from his parents during his childhood. He works every day of the week, from the early morning hours until 4:00 p.m., and occasionally receives assistance from his partner during her spare time. Additionally, Alexander supplements his income by taking on construction work.

He needs the loan to purchase 200 improved broiler chickens, as well as the feed and supplies necessary for their growth. There is strong demand for this product within his community and in neighboring areas.

Alexander dreams of continuing to expand his poultry-raising business and, through the fruits of his labor, improving his living conditions and his family's quality of life.
