Pelenatita's story
Meet this client named Pelenatita. She is a single lady who lives together with her parents and her younger sibling. This family consists of five members. They make a living from making tapas.
Pelenatita dropped out from school for one reason; her parents cannot afford the school fee. So, she decided to drop out of school and help her parents provide for their family in order for them to survive and be capable of paying her younger sibling's school fee.
She learned how to make the whole and the soft tapas from her mother. One of her daily routines is beating the raw mulberry and making a soft tapa out of it. She prefers the soft tapas because this is the easiest way to earn money weekly. Once the soft tapas are ready, she sells them to the local people and some women in their village.
She said that the income from her soft tapa-making helps her parents feed the family, and she saves some money for her weekly loan repayment.
At this time, she lacks raw mulberry. This is why she applied for this loan to help her buy this mulberry so she can continue to run her business without fail.
