Virginia De Mercedes's story

Virginia studied up to the ninth grade in school, is single, and has two children. Her daughter is a teacher and lives with her and also her son-in-law and grandchildren. Her son is a driver and lives on his own.

Virginia has worked raising chickens for 7 years and learned it from one of her nephews. She cares for the animals at her house and then travels to other places to sell them. In addition, she is a farmer and previously sold clothing.

She needs the loan to purchase chickens and also concentrated feed to fatten them and sell them. In the past, she was supported by 2 loan and paid them off 100%.

Virginia dreams of getting ahead with raising the chickens and enjoying a better quality of life through her work.
