A loan of $2,000 helps to buy two cows and food.
Manuel Antonio's story
Manuel lives in the south of the province of Chimborazo in the San Francisco De Macaji community. He lives with his family in a house that has a zinc roof and brick and adobe walls.
Manual and his father work raising dairy cows. He does it with a lot of love. He learned this work at 8 years old and has grown up with this knowledge that he now uses to earn his own income.
Manual wants to raise his own dairy cows which is why he's requesting a loan to buy two cows and food to keep them healthy and well cared for, thus making more milk to sell so he can support the home. His dream is to reward his parents for their sacrifice and in the future have his own business and continue with his professional studies.
