Supporting Small Business for Women Entrepreneurs

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for your donation to our project supporting small business for poor entrepreneurs. We are happy to report that we are able to provide 12 women-entrepreneurs with support during this reporting period and we are hoping to expand to more beneficiaries in the coming months. Our support include small financial assistance and the provision of farming inputs as most of the livelihood activities are focused on farming. We are also introducing high-valued and easily marketable crops like bananas and vegetables. Aside from the inputs we are also providing technical assistance which we deemed important for farmers. Hoping for your continuing support to our initiative. Thank you very much.

Very sincerely yours,

Michelle Frances Uy

Dear Friend,

Thank you very much for your donation to our project supporting small business for women entrepreneurs. In our latest survey we found out that women are increasingly participating in agriculture and in starting small enterprises in order to help the household economy. Dwindling harvest and smaller farm production prods women to participate in this role aside from doing home chores and child rearing functions. This reporting period and fully realizing this phenomena we promote enterprises that women can easily do and one of this is the raising of small animals like goats, chicken and pigs. The animals are placed near where the house is located and this is easy for the women to tend. We are devising a dispersal scheme by which women will pay from offspring and the payment we will pass-on to new beneficiaries. We were able to support 7 women in this manner during this reporting time and we hope to increase the number in the coming months. Again thank you very much.

Very sincerely yours,

Michelle Frances Uy
