Virgia Guma
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.
