A loan helped to purchase chickens, pigs, fingerlings, and feed for them.


Manuel Esteban's story

Manuel is a rural 62-year-old, born to a humble family who always worked at the rural tasks. Thanks to his parents' instruction, today he works at his business raising animals.

His spirit for overcoming, his tenacity and his strength with which he gets up day after day drive him to seek new options which allow him to get ahead. So, he asks for the support of the loan with which he wants to purchase chickens, pigs, fingerlings, and feed for them. This will allow him to increase his production to satisfy the demand, giving as a result better income to continue paying for some family necessities.
