A loan of $3,000 helps to finish building a pigsty and buy one round of piglets, supporting a family-owned farming microenterprise.
Eliecer Augusto's story
Meet Eliecer Augusto!
Eliecer Augusto dedicates most of his time to transportation, offering the nearby communities the possibility to travel to the closer towns at an affordable rate and bringing tourists to his beautiful region of Veraguas, West Panama.
In order to provide for his family, Eliecer Augusto also raises pigs in a small pigsty he has built next to his home. Due to the rainy season, his pigsty is in precarious conditions and needs some urgent infrastructure repairs.
Today, Eliecer Augusto is applying for his first Kiva loan to finish building his small pigsty and buy a round of piglets.
Thank you for supporting family-owned farming microenterprises in regions that have been affected by severe rains and historical financial exclusion.
