This enterprising young woman is Nancy. She is 19 years old and lives with her parents who have a small piece of property in the neighborhood of Salache Pro-Mejoras. Nancy is single and has no children. She barely finished high school and is now raising pigs so that she can earn her own income and contribute to the household finances.
Nancy began working with her own capital. Today, she is requesting her first loan to buy calves and pigs. This investment will help improve her profits from raising animals. Like all young people, Nancy desires to get ahead, buy things, and have her own assets so that she can live decently.
