For many years, 50-year-old Virgie Guma and family grew coconuts, coffee beans and bananas and earned a meager income of $100 per month. They could not afford the simple comforts of home and their children could not attend school. Then, Virgie joined Mentors in Davao and received her first loan of $60.
With the money from her first loan, Virgie planted turnip seeds which grew quickly. She now has 12,000 hills of turnips from which she earns $425 in sales income. They also grow mushrooms, gourds and even eggplants. With these investments, her average monthly income has increased to a minimum of $160 and the family can now live comfortably and were even able to buy a refrigerator. Virgie now prays for an abundant yield for their coconuts and coffee trees to give them substantial income to see their children through college. Joining Mentors Davao has truly lifted Virgie’s burdens and allowed her to become self-sufficient.
