We found Arnilo Velasquez in the consolidation area located in Nug-as, Alcoy in Cebu province. The consolidation area is a place were the farmers harvested goods are delivered and checked before it will be transported to Cebu city. The Lamac Multi-Purpose Cooperative is a microfinance organisation that runs a fantastic project that helps poor farmers in a secluded area to introduce their goods to a bigger market like hotel chains and restaurants. Arnilo was
thankful to Lendwithcare for the trust of lending him funds through Lamac MPC. The funds surely helped him in purchasing the necessary farm inputs needed of his crops. He was funded by Lendwithcare last March 2016 and he was able to fully repay the loan last October 2016. Arnilo told me that he will start planting new set of crops this coming May and probably apply another loan from Lendwithcare as well. Update submitted by Christine Marisse Pansoy and Jay-ar Suan.
