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. The One Hope Microfinance Program provides microloans starting at PHP 6,000 (USD 102) and up to PHP 30,000 (USD 219).

Luna is currently the trusted coordinator of a microfinance fellowship group. She works with us to ensure that we are meeting our goals and positively impacting the lives of our beneficiaries. Not only is she a trusted member of her group, but she also serves as an inspiration to them.

Through her diligence and determination, her eldest child graduated with a degree in Computer Science and has started working in Taiwan. Her youngest is now in his first year of training to become a police officer. All of these would not have been possible if she had not believed in her small business, a rolling store where she sold meat and fish around her community. Eventually, we helped support her with our small business loans to turn her rolling store into a sari-sari store in front of her home. This way, she no longer has to walk around her neighborhood under the scorching sun.

Luna expresses her heartfelt gratitude not just through words, but through her dedication to working hard in her fellowship group. Every day, she serves as a reminder to other women that they, too, could have their maternal milestones—even when they are single mothers.
