One can learn from the experience of Marites that one may effectively use innovative platforms to build up a livelihood and come through difficulties. Not only did Social Mining help her satisfy her curiosity but also found a fresh purpose of a working housewife through the opportunity.
This journey started when her partner’s nephew @binibiningluna prompted her to look into Social Mining. At first, she did not know whether to get into it, but seeing that others were joining she also joined. It was also tough in the earlier days, Sometimes, it took time to understand the wallet setups and tasks that were in it. However, the community always stood with her and specifically the mentors like @azra1eL she got the strength and skills to do so.
#SocialMining was then converted by the Marites into a more serious and dependable means of earning money. The earnings also made her to meet her household needs and get an improved means of operation such as a laptop. To her this was not just an economic break that would make her a wealthier woman, but a chance to make a meaningful contribution towards her family’s household.
She said one of her proudest moments was through integrated labour offering; ILO, where she was able to see eased benefits. Marites felt secure with the ILO’s policies of equity which enabled her to manage between work and her household chores. The supportive community extended her learning and ensured that everybody was learning together and progressing.
Marites looking back to her years of experience called it a lifesaver adding that Social Mining is not only a source of income but a change in a person's life. This is one of the inspiring stories of how determination together with the right tools and support leads to measured challenges as primary stepping stones to personal improvement and contentment.
