Elsa

Elsa, 62, is happily married to Saturnino, and they are blessed with four children. One of their children is already married, and the other three are employed. Their family lives in the province of Cebu. Her husband is also her business partner in their enterprise.

lsa has been running her business for a long time, even before she got married and had children. She used to sell goods from their home until she decided to transfer her stall to a location near her husband’s workplace in 2015. She started with a capital of £750. They have no debts and no employees, so she and her husband take turns managing the stall. She opens at around 6 a.m. and closes at 7 p.m. each day. Her daily sales average about £63.

In addition to her stall, she also raises pigs. She currently has two fattening pigs, which have been growing for almost three months and are now ready for market. Elsa has decided to apply for a loan from Lendwithcare to add more capital to her sari-sari store, so that she can increase her sales and attract more customers.
