Mary Rose manages a vending business in her village to support her daily needs and to support the needs of her grandchildren. She lives in the rural village of Del Pilar in Cabatuan, Isabela. She sells different commodities like snacks and she also sells rice. Since it is summer, she has decided to sell halo-halo which is in demand during this time of the year. She wants to take a loan of PHP 8, 000 (USD 175) for further development of her business and to save some of her income to provide for the educational needs of her grandchildren for the next school year. Vending has been her sole source of income and she is patiently improving it.
