Prospero Foundation Supports a Female Pig Farmer in the Phillipines
Antibes, France (PRWEB) March 17, 2015 -- The Prospero Foundation, founded by Ulrik DeBo of DeBondo Capital, is excited to announce that a microloan donation has been made to Mercy in Barili, Cebu, which is in The Philippines.
At 50 years old, Mercy has been in the agricultural business; specifically fattening pigs for resale. The funds from The Prospero Foundation will help towards buying additional piglets, feed, and other supplies for her business. Mercy has been doing this for four years now and has steadily increased her sales – ideally she would like to save enough money to provide a secure future for her three children.
The catastrophic impact of Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, made life even harder for locals, and The Prospero Foundation is determined to help make a difference.
