Nida is from Philippines. She needs a loan of $125 to buy more prepaid minutes.
Nida has a business selling prepaid cell phone cards. She and her family live in Naic, Cavite, Philippines. Her husband drives a transportation tricycle to earn a living. They have two children: John Mateo, 12, and Steve Frankie, 8.
Nida is requesting a loan so that she can buy more prepaid cards to sell to her customers. She would like to improve her business and increase her income to better support her family and to be able to pay all of her children's school expenses.
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 Children’s Helper is located in the province of Cavite in the Philippine islands, to the southwest of Manila. Like most of the Philippines, the region experiences dry weather from December through June and a rainy season from July through November. Floods and typhoons are common threats.
Fishing is a major source of income, with catches including milkfish, crabs, tilapia, mussels, and oysters. Other income-generating activities include agriculture, livestock production, and industrial jobs. Often, families do not earn enough to meet basic needs and children drop out of school to find work. Many children are underweight. The community has access to a shallow well and several pumping stations that provide them with water for household needs.
In Children’s Helper, World Vision is assisting families with income generation through loans and retail projects such as making and selling soap. We are also providing medical checkups and healthcare for children.

In addition to repaying her loan, Nida is using additional income to pay school fees, purchase food for the family and expand the current business. Nida's 2 children continue to study in school.
