A loan helped to buy livestock in bulk and balanced animal feed.


Maria Marleny's story

María is a 54-year-old mother who lives with her husband and their two children. They reside in a marginalized rural area in the District of Lancones in Piura Province. This community is located three hours away from the city of Chiclayo.

María earns her living by raising and selling animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, and guinea pigs. When the animals are well-developed, she offers them for sale to merchants who always visit the area where she lives. María wants to invest in the purchase of livestock in bulk and balanced feed. This will enable her to sell animals at a better price so that she can generate more income. In order to achieve this goal, she is requesting a loan from Edpyme Alternativa in the amount of 2,003 PEN.

María is an honest and hardworking woman who is dedicated to her family. Her greatest wish is for her family to have a better quality of life.
