Hi, my name is Dewi. I am 23 year old. I live in East Jakarta, renting a small house together with my mother and my younger brother. We are actually from Central Java but decided to migrate to Jakarta for better living since my father passed away. Even though I did not have any opportunities to go to college, I have been working to help my mother since I was young. My mother is a jamu seller. Jamu is Indonesian traditional drink. People like to drink it every morning to help maintaining health. So she always wakes up earlier in the morning every day to prepare everything. She can collect around USD 5 per day by selling jamu but sometimes it is also unpredictable depending to her customers' order. My brother studies in junior high school and he likes to play football.
I have been working as an admin in a local company since three years ago. I take care all of daily schedules and work 8 to 10 hours everyday but I love working there because everyone is so nice to me. Since I am the only child in family who work to help my mother, my salary will definitely be used to pay water and electricity bills every month, also to help paying my brother's monthly tuition fee.
I am going to use the loan to help my brother continuing his study to junior high school. Since the tuition fee is going higher every year and our house renting fee is going higher too, I am having difficulty this month to pay both together, because my mother is currently unable to do her work due to her sickness, so I have to take care of my brother as well as I can. My salary is around USD 150, my house rental fee is USD100 per month (last time it was USD 70) and my brother tuition fee is USD 100 per month. It is excluding all other daily needs that we have to accommodate for eating, transportation fee, etc. I will pay the loan using my monthly salary, but at this moment, I do really hope that I can help my brother continuing his study until my mother can get back to work selling her jamu otherwise my brother will be expelled from school due to unable to pay the tuition fee.
