Edlina is a young woman who lives with her husband in small community in Puerto Plata. They are both originally from Haiti but have come to the Dominican Republic to find better work and a more prosperous life.


Edlina travels once a week to Santiago, a city about an hour away, to purchase clothing and other miscellaneous items. She sells these items in her community, either from her home or by walking up and down the streets showing people her merchandise. It has been very hard for her to make enough profit to pay for the bus rides and to cover other business expenses. Currently, she and her husband are renting a small house but her biggest dream is to one day have a home of her own.


She wants to thank everyone who is supporting her loan and has taken the time to read about her life and business. On behalf of everyone here at Esperanza International, and on behalf of Edlina, we thank you for your support!
