Nelly Isabel's story

Nelly Isabel and her family live in Montecristi, a lovely place with hardworking and friendly people with ancient traditions. They are experts in making crafts from toquilla straw, wicker, piquigua and wood. They specialize in making fine hats from toquilla straw, which are admired throughout the country and beyond its borders.

Nelly Isabel is an excellent entrepreneurial mother who, in her free time, focuses on selling different products from clothing catalogs as well as Avon, Yanbal, and Belcorp (lbel, cyzone, esika) catalogs (beauty products, cosmetics, perfumes, and women's accessories). Her customers always place a large variety of orders with her, so she allows them to purchase on credit, collecting weekly. She advertises her products at accessible prices on social media and WhatsApp, in addition to making home deliveries.

She is very grateful for the backing of the generous people who are a never-ending source of support and motivation for her family and she hopes you continue offering her your help. This loan is to purchase lipstick, nail polish, eye shadow, creams, deodorant, perfumes, shampoo, t-shirts, dresses, shirts, and more.
