A loan helped to buy a calf to fatten and then sell it.


Jose Magdaleno's story

Jose is 54 years old and studied up to ninth grade. He is in a relationship and his children no longer depend on him.

Jose has been working as a day laborer for 8 years and learned it from his father. He travels 5 kilometers from his home to his workplace. Additionally, he owns cattle.

He is requesting this loan to buy a calf, fatten it up, and then sell it.

Jose dreams of having his own home.
