Erika lives with her spouse and three daughters, who are 13, 10 and 6 years old, and are all students. She does not have relatives who live abroad. Erika's spouse works in agriculture and also has a metalwork shop.
Erika's business is raising broiler chickens. She opened this business four years ago and has it established at her home. She learned the trade from her mother. She works with a schedule of 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Erika is asking for a loan to have financial resources which will allow her to strengthen her business. She will used the borrowed funds to purchase 150 broiler chickens, vitamins, and concentrated feed to improve the inventory of her farm business. She expects that the chickens will have the proper age and weight to sell them in December. With this she will have the opportunity to increase her sales and earnings.
Her aspirations are to have financial stability and a better quality of life for her family.
