Lorenzo

Lorenzo is 66 years old and lives in house he owns located in the community of Totoras Wichi, which is located in southern Chimborazo province. His house is made of concrete blocks and has an Eternit roof. Here, he lives with his daughter and granddaughter after the death of his beloved spouse. Lorenzo characterizes himself as being a respectful, sensitive, simple, and very loving person.

Since he was a boy, he has worked at the agricultural labor such as raising dairy cows, small animals, and planting potato seeds on his own land. He has over 50 years of experience raising dairy cows, which has allowed him to work with a permanent collector and cooler which always receives his daily milk production.

Up to now, he has milked manually and he wants to get a milking machine which will ease his labor a bit. To achieve this goal, he is asking for a loan to purchase it and, in addition, to get a dairy cow and feed. With this, he will be able to improve his milk productivity.

Lorenzo asks God for health to continue working and, so, to be able to bring sustenance to his family and support his granddaughter with her education.
