Rubie's story
Rubie resides in the province of Davao Del Sur. She is 48 years old and has two dependents. To earn an income, she runs a sari-sari (variety) store, selling basic commodities. She has been in this business for 10 years.
Now she asks for a loan of PHP 40,000 through Kiva’s field partner, CEVI (a microfinance NGO) in the Philippines. She will use this loan for additional capital to buy grocery items to sell in her store.
Rubie dreams of improving her business in the future for a better means of living.
