Everyday, Ofelia sets out in the afternoon to sell boiled duck eggs, or more commonly known in the Philippines as “balut”, together with other snacks to fill her neighbors. She does this diligently to provide for her four children, while her husband works as a construction worker.
Since she mainly sells in her village, she was able to build good relationships with her neighbors and now has loyal customers. She was able to finish another loan with the Honor 1000 Microfinance Program with no lapse in payment.
We are inspired to have clients like Ofelia who continues to strive for their families despite the circumstances that they face.

Rosalyn is one the recipients of our Microfinance Program in the Philippines. She is one of the pioneers of providing refillable water containers in her community.
