John Diego's story

This is Diego, a 24-year-old young man who lives in some relatives' house with his mother and siblings, with whom he has a good relationship. For five years, he has worked at the agricultural tasks which his parents taught him when he was little. Recently, he has focused on raising small animals such as chickens, guinea pigs, and pigs. With this activity he sustains himself and supports his mother.

Diego has observed the growth of his business, which makes it necessary for him to increase his pig pens and shelters. So, he asks for a loan to invest in the purchase of boards, plastic, stakes, and also piglets, chickens, and guinea pigs. So, he will be able to improve the profits he gets from his activity and with which he covers his necessities, particularly the beginning of his university education.
