Elvira Booc
Before Mentors Davao came into her life, Elvira Booc, 49, cooked and sold edible delicacies door-to-door. She also raised hogs in her backyard. She earned an average monthly income of $41 which barely met the needs of the family. Then, Mentors Davao came to her area and trained her in business practices and offered her a loan of $62. With this loan, she was able to purchase items to feed her pigs and goods to open a variety store. She now earns a minimum of $4 a day increasing her total monthly income to over $292.
Elvira dreams of seeing her business thrive well into the future. With the trainings she received from Mentors Davao regarding diligence, cooperation, thrift and good savings habits she is confident she can achieve it anything she wants.
