Hermila has a business buying animals such as pigs and goats, and then selling the meat. With a loan from World Vision, she will be able to purchase more animals and expand her operation. The additional income she will earn will help to support the growth of her business and provide a better life for her family.
Hermila is forty four years old, married, and has seven children. With this loan, she will be able to make better provision for daily necessities and educational expenses for her family. In the future, Hermila hopes to continue to invest in her business so she can add a room onto her home and open a butcher shop.
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 small community of Rio Santa Catarina, which derives its name from a local river, has a mountainous terrain and warm climate. Economic opportunities in this community are diverse as a result of its close proximity to the growing city of Ometepec.
In Rio Santa Catarina, World Vision is assisting farmers with production and marketing; educating families on disaster preparedness; and working to improve education through tutoring and teacher training. We are also providing healthcare services, nutritional training, and housing assistance.
Hermila invested the loan she received through World Vision in the purchase of more livestock. She bought more pigs and goats, in hopes to raise and sell more products.
She says that her sales and her production have increased which help her expand her client base. Because of all this, her take-home profits have also increased. She has been able to provide for her family's financial needs, as well as purchase a few items for their home.
Hermila would like to thanks World Vision and it's donors for the support they have given her. She has been able to keep her business going, as well as provide for her family.
