Marilou Majestad owns a piggery where she earns enough money to provide her family with an adequate supply of food, clothing, and other necessities. At 28 years old, she is the mother of two children, ages 3 and 6. She works hard to be the best mother she can be for her children. Marilou is beginning to save money in order to give her children a better education and future. She wants to expand her business, by purchasing additional piglets and more feed, in order to increase her income and savings. By receiving this loan, Marilou will have an opportunity to better support her family.
The Agriculture business sector covers all farming and livestock activities. Some entrepreneurs request loans to help in securing supplies and equipment. Others want to buy more animals to breed or purchase feed and medicines. The majority of our loan clients live in rural communities where agriculture is already understood as a business model. It is for this reason that approximately 50% of our loans are in the agricultural sector.

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.

Before the loan, Marilou Majestad was worried where to get funds to support her piggery business. Not anymore, because she learned about World Vision Micro and availed its credit services. The loan allowed her to buy three piglets and a sack of feed.
During the early stages of her repayment, Marilou's pigs became ill and died. She initially struggled to repay her loan, but with time, she was eventually able to repay it in full.
Even though Marilou was faced with challenges in the beginning, she persevered and was able to fulfill her loan commitment. She would like to thank the donors who funded her loan.
