Luis is 36 years old, is single, and lives in the area of La Aguada in the province of Carchi on the Colombian border. He lives in his parents’ house and has a young son who he loves very much and provides for. Luis works raising cattle to produce milk. This is the only trade he knows in order to earn a living.
He will use the loan to purchase another cow in order to increase his milk production and therefore improve his earnings so he can get ahead. He aspires to be able to buy mechanical milking equipment.
