Manila Slum Project Extends Support to Young Moms
In Manila's busy streets, many children miss out on schooling. But there's hope as we work to change their story.
The journey to sustainability varies for each of the client moms of Honor 1000’s Microfinance Program. Others may be growing and upscaling their businesses, while most may only be starting to build their own little store. It can take them a couple of microloan cycles over a few years, depending on various factors such as how well their business may be doing, how quickly they are able to repay their loans, even personal circumstances and concerns.
Despite these various factors, one thing remains constant and that is the support provided to these mothers. Every client mom that wishes to avail a loan goes through a loan ceremony wherein the Microfinance Program staff share with the clients the organization’s mission, their commitment to regular client group meetings and payments, how to compute their weekly budgeting, and the two types of savings and why it is important. Both new and existing clients go through this loan ceremony before proceeding to their next loan cycle.
Encouragement and support are important, as well as increasing the mothers’ financial literacy to help them attain sustainability.
