Meet Nina, a hardworking wife and mother of four who owns a small sari-sari store up in the mountains. She joined our Microfinance program in the Philippines in 2021. Then, with the loan that she availed from us, she added cold drinks and rice grain to her store.
With this, she was able to more than double her income within 12 months. With four kids that still need education and food under her roof, Nina is determined to continue growing her business. Because they live in a mountain area, loyal customers are key to her business. She observes what her community would need next and is smart in investing in these products.
Nina also knows with the importance of building her savings. So in just one year, she was able to save almost PHP 4,700 with us (94 USD). We are inspired by mothers like Nina and are grateful for donors and sponsors who enables us to reach and touch the lives of people like her.
