Ana lives in the municipality of Yacuanquer, department of Nariño, in southern Colombia, in the village of Zaragoza where she raises pigs.
Ana is 37 years old. She has been living in a common-law relationship for 20 years and also lives with her two children, ages 12 and 8, who still go to school.
Ana has 15 years experience in animal husbandry because her mother has always raised them, so that's where her business was born.
Ana is requesting a loan of $6.251.000 COP to buy a breeding sow, concentrated feed, and to increase the productivity of her business.
Ana dreams of improving the production and quality of her animals to set an example in her village, demonstrating her knowledge of pig farming and what she has learned from her mother, and to be able to sell at a more competitive price, offering quality and excellent service.
