Maribel Cruta

Maribel Cruta is from the village of San Roque, Bukidnon. She is 32 years old. Maribel is single and has one school-aged child. To make a living, Maribel owns & operates a business running a sari-sari (variety) retail store. While not the only means for generating revenue, the main source of income for the business comes primarily from selling a variety of different products in the local community including bananas, spices and others. Maribel has been engaged in her business for over five years and earns approximately 8,000 PHP a month for these activities.

In 2009, Maribel joined HSPFI to gain access to financial services to help improve her living situation and ability to engage in business activities. Maribel is requesting a loan of 5000 PHP, which will be used to purchase additional products to sell. This loan will be the first loan taken out by Maribel from HSPFI. She plans to use the additional revenue generated from the business to supplement the income of her family.
