Reynaldo is from Philippines. He has 1 child. He needs a loan of $175 to buy spare tires for his tricycle.
Reynaldo is an ambitious, 26-year old, with a one-year old son, Jhon Sherwin. His family lives in Bato, Leyte Philippines. Reynaldo earns his income driving a tricycle for transporting customers, in order to provide for his family's basic needs.
He is asking for a World Vision microloan to purchase some spare tires for his tricycle, so he can be assured of uninterrupted service to his customers.
The additional income will be used for his family's daily consumption and improved living conditions. Any savings will be used toward a Sari-sari (variety) store that his wife hopes to open in the future.
In areas where the poor live alongside the more affluent, businesses in the service sector can be very successful. Services include flower cultivation, tailoring/sewing, transportation, repair work, beauty salons and barber shops, and restaurants. Loans are needed to begin, expand, or sustain business with tools and supplies. Loans given to entrepreneurs in the service sector account for around 7% of our loans.
The community of Omega, located in the Southern Leyte province of the Philippines, is home to a large population of farmers and fishermen. On average, 11 of the Philippines’ approximately 24 annual typhoons affect this area. Along with poor farming and fishing practices, this contributes to the depletion of natural resources, which affects economic prosperity. Farmers mainly grow rice, coconut, and sugar cane. Fruit and vegetable production is limited, and many families struggle to find sufficient nutrients.
Nearly 50 percent of the area’s residents live in poverty. As a result of economic struggles, many children drop out of school and seek work in places such as the sugar cane fields or urban areas. These children often face exploitation and abuse.
In Omega, World Vision is helping community members create a more sustainable future by providing training in livestock raising and fertilizer production, distributing small loans, and developing businesses. We are also educating families about child rights and operating children’s associations.
