Roxana lives with her partner and 12-year-old son. She has relatives living overseas.
For 11 years Roxana has been running a pig butchery and sells pork cracklings. She attends to her customers Monday through Friday with no specific schedule. She learned the trade on her own with the support of her partner.
Roxana is applying for a loan to obtain the economic resources she needs to keep her business running. She will buy pigs to raise and later butcher in order to increase sales and profits.
Her goal is to expand her business and have a better economic situation and future for her family.
