A loan of $125 helped to purchase bags of fertilizer.

Dr. Joe Johnson funded a microloan to Dominga, a farmer in the Philippines.

Here is Dominga’s Story




The city of Oroquieta in the Philippines is home to Dominga, a woman who has spent her lifetime farming and to whom farming is life. For decades she has been an expert in all aspects of farming, from the preparation of the land, to seed bed preparation, sowing, replanting, pre-harvest and post-harvest management and operations. Her farm has been so successful that she has managed to send all her children through school to the college level, where after graduation they all landed good jobs.

Despite her success as a farmer, she is still willing to work, and has insisted on maintaining the same farming routine even as she gets older. It was this thought process that led her to seek a loan from the Paglau Multi-Purpose Cooperative (PMPC) to help her purchase bags of fertilizer to boost her harvest.

Microloan Partners
Her loan was administered through the PMPC, an organization that was created with the aim of helping those in the northwest of the Philippines to address some of the economic and livelihood issues that they have, and therefore promote activities that will lead to sustainability. The organization was founded almost 25 years ago, and its members aim to build a self-reliant community that can expand their opportunities and therefore allow the poorest of the poor to help themselves.

PMPC and Kiva have helped Dr. Johnson to fund the Dominga’s entire loan. These organizations, together with Dr. Johnson, are helping to change the lives of countless families and get them out of the poverty that surrounds them. This is mainly due to the fact that the main aim of these organizations is to provide microfinance services to those who would not otherwise be able to acquire capital for their business ventures.

Their method of doing this is quite simple, Kiva brings people together, while PMPC identifies needy individuals who people like Dr. Johnson can then help. The $125 loan that Dominga took was fully funded by Dr. Joe Johnson, and she now has the chance to continue farming and create an even better life for herself.
