Teresa De Jesus

Teresa de Jesus, age 26, is a single mother. She lives with her son in Macuelizo, Santa Barbara. She previously worked in agriculture cultivating corn, beans, and coffee. 5 years ago she started fattening and raising hogs on her property. She is seeking a loan of 35,000 lempiras to purchase hogs, feed, vitamins, and anti-parasite compounds. This will allow her to expand her production. Her goal is to improve her facilities to provide the hogs with better quality of life and to ensure a better future for her family.
