Many cultures have contributed to the Filipino population, creating a mosaic that reflects both Eastern and Western influences. Most Filipinos are an ethnic mix of Malay and some Chinese, Indian, Spanish, and American ancestry. While there are more than 160 dialects, Filipino (based on Tagalog) and English are the official languages.

Filipinos have extremely close family ties. Your donation will likely go to someone living in a home that includes several generations. It is common for a child to continue living with his or her parents even after getting married. In some cases, two or three families may live in one household.

Many people live in rural fishing and farming communities. Food production is minimal and usually just enough to keep children fed. Mothers will often sew as a way to contribute to their family's income.

It’s in areas like this that a Microloan can really make a big difference – providing fishing nets, agricultural tools and more efficient sewing machines that can turn a struggling way of life into a business.

You can help someone start a business and change their life forever by funding a loan in the Philippines today.
