Lorna Llanera is a fish vendor and earns very little profits from her business. Lorna is worried because her family’s daily living expenses are increasing and her business profits are too low to cover her expenses. She needs to purchase more fish to resell but lacks the capital to do so.
A loan will help her buy more fish to resell and improve her sales. Her goal is to increase her profit so she can buy food, clothes, and provide for her family’s many needs.
Lorn is 41-years-old and has three children.
Lastly, a handful of our entrepreneurs have unique businesses that do not fall into any of the above categories. In these cases, our entrepreneurs may see a need in their community and then their business idea is born. Approximately 7% of our loans fall into this final category.

The community of Mountain View is located in a boot-shaped province on Negros Island in the Philippines. Home to Mt. Kanlaon, an active volcano, the area is rich with natural resources. With convenient access to a variety of markets, the community is emerging as a promising frontier for investors.
Economic activities revolve around agriculture, fishery, and forestry. Environmental degradation is a pressing concern. The region has been identified as one of the lowest income-earning areas in the country. Families struggle to acquire proper nutrients, and some do not have access to clean water. Malnutrition and disease are constant concerns. Families are hindered by poor road conditions, and many children drop out of school.
In Mountain View, World Vision has provided community members with key employment skills, including training in food processing and assistance in livestock rearing. We have also provided medical and housing assistance, supplemental food for malnourished children, fees and materials for children to attend school, and educational support for child laborers.

Lorna used the loan to invest in the purchase of additional supplies for her business. She is buying her products from sellers that offer it at a cheaper cost, as she knows this means she can maximize her profits. Lorna has increased her sales and income. She is also able to sell in the next village because of the availability of supplies that her business has to offer. Lorna is loyal to the repayment terms and has a strong record. Thank you for supporting Lorna and World Vision Micro!
The loan has sustained Lorna's business. She was able to sell even to the next barangay, thus expanding her customer prospect and she has been able to establish a name for herself too.
