Lilibeth smiles brightly beside her food store. Though small in size, this business helped her send her eldest son to college. She continues to work hard to do the same for her youngest, who is just 7 years old. She shares that her journey hasn’t been easy as recently, her husband has been unable to help her due to sickness. Still, Lilibeth continues to operate their store and find ways to grow it. It helps that their store is located in front of a public school.
And with the school year scheduled to start again this month, she wants to prepare for it by adding stocks and maybe better equipment to help her as she sells snacks. Lilibeth expresses her gratitude to the Captivating Team and HONOR 1000, our local program partner in the Philippines, for making the microfinance program possible. Though she manages her store alone due to unforeseen circumstances, the support she receives from the program helps her not to give up and to continue smiling toward a brighter future.
