Josselyn Tatiana's story

Josselyn, 28, a humble single mother, lives in the Crucita area with her three children in a small loaned house located in the middle of a plot of land where she grows rice and corn for home consumption and to sell on a small scale.

In addition to this job, she complements her income by selling fresh fish that she gets in the fishing district of her area.

Josselyn is a strong woman who doesn't let problems get her down; rather, she looks for ways to get ahead by having a positive attitude.  It's this charisma that she instills in her customers, so they always buy her products or wait for them to come on sale.

Josselyn wants an injection of capital to motivate her job, certain that with this loan she'll grow more and buy more fish to sell.  That way she'll generate greater profitability for her modest household.

Josselyn's biggest dream is to be able to build her own house where she can live peacefully with her children.
