Adding to basket
Marie Claudine is a 56-year-old woman. She is married and the couple has three children, two of whom are already independent. She lives in a rural village and the couple owns a clay house there. She has been involved in pig farming for more than 10 years. Her husband is a butcher.
Marie Claudine wants to increase her pig breeding in order to improve her income, so she has joined Vahatra to take out a loan. With the loaned funds, she will purchase two pigs to fatten and feed to add to their diet. She will resell her pigs after a few months at the city market, and then she will buy more.
She will deposit her earnings into savings to renovate their house later. She has high hopes for lenders.
