Kate and Glenn from Captivating recently visited Manila to check in on our programs in the Philippines.
One of their visits was to the recipients or beneficiaries of our microfinance program in Dinalupijan. During their time with each mother, they asked them how their business was doing and the challenges that they faced during the pandemic. They also visited a new client, Melvin, who was featured in our reports last March 2022 when she first got her loan. She started her quail raising business with 100 eggs & now, she has 650 laying quails & 1,500 chicks.
We are grateful that we were able to spend this time with our clients and see how they are doing firsthand. They repeatedly expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Captivating and Honor for the help and support.

She then made the critical decision to transfer her small store so she could be with them. To do this, she needed additional capital, so she tried applying to our microfinance program.
