Susan

Susan and her husband work together to manage their sewing business, which has been their main source of livelihood since they got married. The business has helped support their daily needs and provide for their children’s education, from their early schooling years until they graduated from college. Their three children are now married and living separately in the province of Cebu.

With the assistance of six sewing employees, Susan and her husband successfully manage their sewing business, which receives numerous orders from both public and private institutions. Their services include making uniforms for government employees, teachers, and students, as well as providing repair services such as replacing zips, buttons, and hooks, fixing damaged garments, and other sewing-related services.

The business has six sewing machines, each operated by one employee. Together, they work diligently to accommodate customer orders and ensure timely completion. They purchase sewing materials directly from Cebu City on a weekly basis or whenever necessary to maintain their supply.

Susan has applied for another loan from Lendwithcare's partner, LAMAC, to serve as additional working capital. The loan will be used to purchase essential sewing materials, such as fabric, thread, and other supplies needed for daily operations, particularly given the large volume of orders they currently receive. It will be repayable over eight months
