Irene recently joined Honor 1000’s Microfinance Project. Her small business is selling shoes, clothes, and cosmetics. Because of the pandemic, she was forced to stop taking orders because the businesses selling non-essential goods were banned to operate. Using the income from her last batch of sales, she came up with a new idea and started food vending.
Since she already had contacts in her area, her food vending business was quick to grow. She shares that she cooks 5 times a day, with a varying menu to cater breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Some of her bestsellers are Turon (crispy banana wrap), Camote Cue, Pancit (noodles), and Visayan Coco Bread. With this new venture, she is averaging 500 to 700 pesos [AU$14-20] a day in income.
She is grateful to be part of this program and feels supported to succeed. She’s saving up now to invest in a good oven for her best seller Visayan Coco Bread and to buy more food bowls for food storage.
