Adding to basket
In the rural sector of San Pablo lives Juan, age 19. He is a humble person who raises small animals such as pigs, chickens, and guinea pigs in a space at his grandmother's house. Juan works tirelessly to support his mother and younger siblings in their studies. When he was 15 years old, he began this work. Now that he has finished school, he works full time and so his income has increased. He feels very happy because he has always had in mind the idea of repaying his parents' efforts. They are humble day laborers who do not earn much, but have always put bread on the table in their home.
Juan dreams of having land of his own to build a huge pig enclosure in the future. Therefor he is requesting a loan to buy white piglets, whey, feeder potatoes, and other food supplements. In this way, he hopes to continue increasing his income to change the living conditions of his humble family.
