A loan helped to buy medium pigs and the food to feed them.


Oliarisoa's story

Oliarisoa is a 38 year old mother of a family. She is married and the couple has three children. She lives in a town at the edge of the city in their own house.

She has been investing in pig farming for more than seven years. Her husband is a boarder. She is partners with Vahatra. After her last loan, she invested her earnings in the construction of a basin for farming fish. Currently, she plans to increase the number of pigs that she is raising in order to earn more than usual. For this, she needs the support of the lenders to buy medium-sized pigs and the food to feed them. She will resell the pigs at the market after they have been fattened, and then she will buy more. She will deposit her profits in savings and she hopes to have a large farm in the future.
