Artel reminds herself of what matters most, every time troubles hit too close to home: her five children.

Her eldest and her second daughter are in college now, while her youngest is in first grade. Each day, she opens her sari-sari store and tries her best to do everything she can to keep her family afloat.

We believe that a lot of impoverished mothers have the chance to elevate their and their children’s living standards if only given the opportunity to do so. Because of this, we started our One Hope Microfinance Program to provide microloans starting at PHP 6,000 (USD 102) and up to PHP 30,000 (USD 219).

She joined our program last February, and since then, she has consistently shared her gratitude for receiving our support. To her, it’s more than just the business—it’s about the real chance of giving her children a better life than she envisioned in the past.
