A loan helped to buy pigs and feed and to make repairs to her pigpen.


Juana Mirian's story

,Juana is a young single mother who is 28 years old. She is of very humble origin and lives in the rural community of Mariscal Sucre with her small baby, two months old.

Juana lives in a leased house, so in order to pay her expenses, she goes out to work for wages and also engages in raising pigs. To be able to go to work, she leaves her daughter in the care of a neighbor. This is how Juana strives to get ahead with her baby.

Juana wants to make improvements to her business because her pig sales are going well. That's why she is requesting the help of $1,000 USD, which will be used to fix her pigpens and to increase her number of pigs and the proper food to raise them.

In this way, she can improve her sales and income to continue raising her daughter according to her possibilities.
