Jiniu Yiqu: Discovering Hard Work Through Sports

Jiniu Yiqu is one of the many students who are able to continue their studies through the One More Year Scholarship Program. This is her letter to her sponsors.

As a mother of 5, Noemi and her husband have been working hard to keep all their kids in school and well provided for.
Noemi joined Honor 1000’s Microfinance Program in 2015 and has been gradually growing her business since. From direct selling of personal care products, she has now started selling household items and frozen products as well. This decision helped her a lot especially during this time of pandemic since most households reduced their purchases to basic necessities, including frozen goods.
Though times have been difficult, Noemi continues to persevere – reaching out to her loyal customers and paying her weekly commitments, while also saving for hard times and her family’s future.
