Yaly Tatiana's story
This is Yaly, a smiling, enterprising, and very cheerful young woman who lives with her mother in a borrowed house located in the Olmedo neighborhood. She and her mother contribute to the household to cover their basic needs.
Being a go-getter with a lot of vision for the future, Yaly secured a public sector job at a checkpoint in her city. She supplements this income by selling fresh fish, which her mother collects daily. Together, in the afternoons after Yaly finishes her workday, they go out to the streets of the city to sell their product.
Yaly has seen the great demand for her seafood, and therefore, she is requesting a loan to buy a small boat, a freezer, and other necessary tools to carry out her work more efficiently and generate more profit. She aspires to turn her business into a large company in the future, owning her own fishing business and being her own boss, as well as creating jobs for other hardworking young people like herself.
