A loan helped a member to buy pigs to fatten.


Cerro Grande Group's story

Edmy Elisa Sandoval has three children who are now grown. She has devoted herself to raising and selling pigs for eight years.

She started this business when she moved to the city of Cochabamba. On a typical day Edmy takes care of her pigs. She feeds them and also monitors to make sure they do not have diseases.

She wants to use this loan to buy more piglets in order to fatten them and sell them.

Her biggest aspiration is to be able to make her corral grow in order to have more pigs and to generate more income. This is so that her grandson is able to study for a university degree and to help him financially.
