The
first business venture I thought of was a Special Education Center. In our
country alone, over 50,000 kids are children with special education needs but
are out of school. This is mainly for the reason that parents could not afford
to send their special kid to a special education school because price ranges
from P50,000 to P80,000 per school year. I did my ENSCAN class in ESA and
I was able to determine how I could help these special kids. But as always, the
capital requirement is too high and my resources are not enough to put up a
special education school.
But
my financial incapability of putting up a school for special children didn’t
stop me from dreaming and pursuing my passion for helping.
I did
a lot of researches on the unserved or underserved segments in the education
field. I looked on every aspect and one day, all my hard work has paid off. I
said to myself, “If I can’t help children, I will help the teachers.”
I
thought of a lending business that caters to the elementary and high school
public school teachers. My objective is to provide public school teachers with
low interest rate short –term loans for their immediate financial needs.
In my
nine months of operation, I had helped 249 public school teachers of 6
different municipalites in the province of Batangas. With a few more marketing
and aggressive advertising, I am in full hope to capture 100% market share of
the public school teachers of the 6 municipalites I am currently serving.
If
God forbids, towards the end of this year, we are in full hope to start
catering to some parts of the Taal / Cavite province.
