In a rewarding story of empowerment and resilience, Crisfina Berdos, a single mother and microentrepreneur from Bangkerohan, Davao City, has emerged as a shining example of how support and determination can turn dreams into reality. Media partners of the Center for Agriculture and Rural Development MRI (CARD MRI) recently had the privilege of visiting Crisfina's wholesale mango distribution business, which has grown from humble beginnings to a thriving enterprise.

Crisfina's journey with CARD MRI began in 2017 when she learned about the organization's comprehensive range of products and services. Recognizing her potential, CARD offered her the opportunity to start a small business, igniting the spark of entrepreneurship within her. According to Crisfina, CARD BANK has been a steadfast pillar of support and a reliable partner in her pursuit of elevated business goals.

What started as a modest mango venture has transformed into a formidable business endeavor. Crisfina's mangoes, sourced meticulously from local farms, now find their way to Bangkerohan Market, as well as prominent malls and supermarkets. Moreover, her influence extends beyond her hometown as her mangoes reach customers in various cities, including Metro Manila, Cebu City, Island Garden City of Samal, Butuan City, Surigao City, Digos City, Panabo City, and Tagum City.

The success story takes an even more heartening turn as Crisfina reveals that her efforts have not only secured a bright future for herself but also for her sibling. Through her business endeavors, she supported her sibling's education, enabling them to graduate with a degree in Information Technology. Her sibling now actively participates in the mango distribution business, creating a family bond that extends to the realm of entrepreneurship.

Crisfina's gratitude for the pivotal role that CARD MRI has played in her life is palpable. She acknowledges that the organization's support and guidance have been instrumental in shaping her path to success. As she reflects on her journey from a single mother with a vision to a thriving entrepreneur, Crisfina serves as an inspiring testament to the transformative impact of determination, community support, and access to resources.

In a world often marked by challenges, Crisfina Berdos' story reminds us that with the right assistance and unwavering perseverance, individuals can surmount obstacles and achieve remarkable feats.
