Iarimahefa is 51 years old and married. She has 6 children, of whom 3 are independent. She lives in their own house on the outskirts of the city, where she is also raising her granddaughter. She has raised cattle for more than 16 years. Her husband is an entrepreneur. She has decided to take out a loan from Vahatra to increase her financial capital. This money will be used to buy a dairy cow and some feed. She will sell her cow's products to her usual customers in the big city. She hopes to raise her income and to save up enough to buy a productive plot of land in the future. She is counting on the lenders' support for this project.
