A loan helped to buy two dairy cows, pigs, and feed.


Jose Pedro's story

José is 72 years old, and after being widowed a few years ago from his first wife, he went on to rebuild his life with a new partner with whom he lives in a common-law relationship. Between the two of them, he works to support himself and to keep himself in good health.

José does not have the same strength as before, which is why he has dedicated himself to less strenuous work such as raising pigs and other small animals, which he takes care of with the help of his partner.

He wants to buy two dairy cows and pigs so for this reason José is requesting a loan from Kiva. He hopes to promptly meet the payments because he has faith that his agricultural work will yield good profits.
