$0 of $500 raised.

This farmer is Grilda. She is a supportive, humble, and friendly person. She lives with her children and domestic partner in a small family home. She barely finished high school, so she works in the countryside; job opportunities are very low in her city for people who haven't finished school. Her spouse works in the city as a dock worker. She started raising pigs three years ago, selling them at fairs and earning more income, an activity which has allowed her to contribute financially to her household. She wishes to increase her work. This is why she is requesting a loan to buy pigs to fatten, a boar, feed, and vitamins. This way, she will be able to feed her pigs well so they can be sold for a good price in the local market. Grilda asks God for life and health to see her children grow up and become good professionals and have a fulfilling life.

28-year-old Faviola lives with her parents who are simple farmers. Her partner is a day labourer in the area, and their two children attend a local rural school. The whole family lives in a small house made of a mix of wood and cement which is gradually being renovated so that it is more comfortable. Faviola's wish to help her family get ahead without the need to change her style of living motivated her to start a business raising pigs to fatten. She buys them in the months they are born, raises them for three months, and then sells them for slaughter in the local market. The quality of her animals is much sought after in the area so she has many orders for delivery. However, her ability to raise pigs is limited. For this reason Faviola is seeking a loan to buy pigs to raise, a breeding sow, serum, reeds, bunches of bananas, vitamins and other food supplements. In addition, she is seeking materials to expand the pig styes and raise more animals. The principal dream of this loving mother is to complete her higher education which she herself is financing and to provide her children with a decent life with an adequate home and education.

Ambar is 26 years old and lives with her partner, the father of her newborn daughter. Together, they live in a modest wooden house that her parents have lent them. Ambar’s partner works at a nearby shrimp farm, while she takes care of the home and raises free-range and white chickens, which she sells either live or plucked when they’re ready for market. She also runs a small shop from her home, and with this income, she and her partner can support each other to make ends meet as a family. Ambar works hard for her family’s well-being, which is why she is requesting financial assistance to invest more in her poultry business and purchase free-range chickens, white chickens, and laying hens, as well as bales of corn, feed, and growth supplements. This will allow her to increase the profitability of her business, which will help her to continue fulfilling her dreams, the main one being to own her own home where she can live with her daughter and partner.
