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.

With the loan from World Vision, Lucy Abrasaldo bought two piglets and one sack of pig feed. She also bought vegetable seeds to plant on her farm. Lucy now has healthy growing pigs and ensures that they are all well feed. She is also continuing to repay her loan on time.
Lucy was able to finance her business expansion with the loan she received. She is thankful because she does not have to resort to lending institutions that would charge her much interest.
From the profits Lucy obtained from her farming, which is now doing well, she is able to pay for her childrens' education on time.
She is also able to feed her pigs well.
Lucy has repaid her loan in full. These loan funds are now available to help another worthy entrepreneur in her community. Thank you for your support of Lucy and World Vision Micro!
