Nathaly Mishell

Nathaly, age 26, is an enthusiastic woman of Ecuador's African ethnic group. She is a single mother who lives with her father and her baby, age 7 months.

She earns a living with fruits and vegetables. She has had her business for four years, and it helps to generate sustenance for the household. Nathaly wants to have a large store, and so she seeks a loan to buy mangoes, bananas, limes, oranges, pineapple, and watermelon.

With this increase in merchandise, she expects to increase her income, to have the desired economic stability that in the future will permit her to buy a truck to transport her products to different sectors.

Nathaly has the dream of completing her studies in nursing, to get her child ahead and to be an example for him.
