Rosalinda, Fish Vendor

Rosalina, a fish vendor and hardworking mother from a small coastal town, faced years of struggle to make ends meet. Despite her determination, her small stall’s earnings were barely enough to cover basic needs, leaving her dreams of growing her business out of reach.

Her breakthrough came when she partnered with St. Matthew Lending Corporation, which provided a loan tailored to her needs. With this support, Rosalina invested in refrigeration equipment, expanded her inventory, and created a seating area for customers. She even hired two assistants, giving her more time to focus on growing her business.

A year later, her stall became a thriving community hub, renowned for the freshest fish. With increased income, she improved her children’s education, cleared debts, and started saving for the future. Rosalina’s journey showcases how opportunity and support can transform lives, turning struggles into triumphs. #SMLCTransformationComplete
