Juan is 47years old, and he is married. He lives with his wife and one dependent child in the rural community of Cruz del Medano in the Mórrope district. This district characteristically has most of its population dispersed in rural areas. The main activities are farming and raising animals. It belongs to the Lambayeque province, which is located 45 minutes from the city of Chiclayo.
Juan has been raising and selling animals for over 20 years. He raises poultry and pigs in the area behind his house. When the animals have grown well enough, he sells them to businessmen who visit the area. He also sells to his neighbors. This activity provides income to help support his family. The income from his farming work is not enough to support his family.
This activity is well received in the area. Juan wishes to expand his business in order to get more income and get ahead. Therefore, he has seen the need, for the first time, to ask Edpyme Alternativa for a loan for 2,000 PEN. He plans to use the money to buy more small animals and balanced food. This way he plans to achieve his objective.
Juan is very devoted to his family. He always thinks about the well-being and progress of his loved ones. That is why he puts forth maximum effort in his work. His neighbors and the people who know him consider him to be a responsible and trustworthy person.
