Elsie Traje is from the town of Lopez Jaena. She is 44 years old. Elsie is married and has two school-age children. To make a living, Elsie operates a fishing business harvesting and selling ocean-caught fish in the local community. Elsie has been engaged in her business for more than 10 years and earns approximately 5,000 PHP a month for these activities.

In 2001, Elsie joined PMPC, a Kiva partner, to gain access to financial services to help improve her living situation and ability to engage in business activities. Elsie has successfully repaid a previous loan of 12,000 PHP from PMPC. This previous loan was used to to invest in expanding the business. Elsie is requesting a new loan of 14,000 PHP, which will be used to purchase fishing equipment, including hooks and nets. This will be the 10th loan taken out by Elsie from PMPC. She plans to use the additional revenue generated from the business to improve the general living conditions of her family.
