Jeferson, age 24, lives in his mother's house in the La Lolita neighborhood. He is single and does not have children; he wants to forge a better future based on his own efforts.
Jeferson works in agriculture, a family trade that he has done since childhood. The primary products that he grows are the chaucha potato and melloco (a tuberous root vegetable). His new project focuses on purchasing cows for milk production. This new source of income will be of great help to grow his finances, through which he aspires to acquire assets to lead an independent life.
