Juliana D.C. Laruya, our client from Tavora, Pugo, La Union has been with KASAPI since November 2012. She has a wonderful family blessed with 8 lovely children. Farming is their main source of income and the extra is generated with the sideline job of the father in carpentry.
Most of their children were not sent to school on time due to financial constraints and with the condition of their living before. But ever since her membership in KASAPI Microfinance, the family was able to see an affirmative change in their lives. Juliana was able to grow her livelihood, from having a small snacks stall adjacent to a school to managing the school’s canteen. And through their hard work of her husband, they were able to send their 3 of their children in school, 2 of which now have a Bachelor’s degree in Criminology and Computer Science. Bonus to that is the fact that all their children are now studying in different levels.
Juliana has ever since been one of the good clients of KASAPI. She was even awarded as the Best Center Chief in 2014 and recognized as the client with the highest savings of P25,000, an amount which is higher than her loan amount in her 9th cycle.
With the trust she was able to earn from the company, she was given much higher loan opportunity. With that, she is more confident to expand her business and earn more for the future of her family.
