Roselyn Tenio is a 31 year old mother of one child, a ten year old daughter. Roselyn lives with her family in Matalom, Leyte, where she owns and operates a sari-sari store, (convenience store) to help earn a living for her family. Roselyn at this time lacks the funds needed to sustain her store and continue her business.
With a loan from World Vision, Roselyn will be able to purchase all the food stock she needs to maintain her store and continue with her business. She will also be able to grow her business, attracting new customers and increasing her income. With the additional income, Roselyn will be able to provide for her family's daily needs and pay for her daughters education.
Retail is a quick and scalable way to begin earning a profit. Many entrepreneurs begin with stalls at markets or even at home and need a loan to expand or increase their inventory. Others may be ready to open a small store. Goods purchased from loan funds range from clothing, grocery or sundry items to jewelry, candy, perfume or health and beauty supplies. Loans in the commerce sector account for around 33% 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.
