A loan helped buy cattle for breeding, which she will then sell and, with that income, keep sending her children to school.


Yessica Lizeth's story

Yessica finished grade 9, is married and her husband is a farmer. Her marriage has resulted in 3 children who go to school. One of her kids appears with her in the photo.

Yessica has been breeding cattle and selling them in the market for more than 10 years. She learned this business from her parents, who work with cattle. Her husband and older children help her transfer the animals to the corral. Her day starts at 5:30 in the morning and ends at 4:30 in the afternoon.

She is requesting this loan to buy cattle for breeding, which she will then sell and, with that income, keep sending her children to school.

Her biggest dream is for her children to become professionals.
