Myriam Jeanneth's story
Myriam, age 43, is a kind woman who works with enthusiasm so that she can have a good life. She lives in a house made of mud bricks, which she inherited from her parents. Myriam engages in farming activities, which include raising guinea pigs. Her 15 years of experience have allowed her to become competitive in the livestock sector. The guinea pigs she raises are known for having good size and flavor.
Wanting to boost her livestock business, Myriam is requesting a loan to buy chickens and guinea pigs. She will also need to repair the animal pens and cages that have degraded over time. Her short-term goal is to buy a vehicle so that she can travel to other neighborhoods nearby to sell her guinea pigs.
With her profits, Myriam plans to build capital to fund her next business, which is to cultivate roses.
