Dear Lenders,

Dionesa Alburo is thankful to your generosity for granting her a loan of PHP 14,000 (USD 300) to be used as an additional capital to improve her cosmetics business. Dionesa used PHP 8,000 to take additional advance orders on her Natasha and Avon line products. She also bought more water containers for PHP 2,000 so many orders can be accommodated with their existing water refilling station. The remaining money was made to pay for the water bill of PHP 2,000 and for her child’s schooling for PHP 2,000. With the current competition on direct selling, Dionesa has confidence and perseverance to continue on and invest such a large amount of her capital on her cosmetic business. She knows that the pay off compensates for everything, and that patience is the key. She balances her time managing her water refilling station and taking cosmetic orders from her clients.
