A loan helped to buy materials to expand the pig pens as well as buy more pigs and other animals like guinea pigs, rabbits, and chickens.


Norma Aracely's story

Norma is a smiling and hard working woman who lives in the rural community of Playa Alta with her family. Her and her family members work in the fields raising small animals and planting potatoes and other vegetables. This is how she contributes money to the family which allows her to play an active role in bringing them happiness.

Through hard work, Norma has increased the number of animals she owns, especially pigs. This has made the pig pens smaller which is why she's requesting a loan to buy materials to expand. She will also use the loan to buy more pigs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and chickens.

She hopes to be able to continue to support her family's well-being and take care of her parents until God allows them to be together with her.
