Ashley Dayeli and her family live in Los Bajos de Montecristi, which stands out for its crafts made from toquilla straw, wicker, piquigua fiber and wood, and its fine toquilla straw hats known to the world as the "Panamá Hat", well-known throughout the whole country and outside of it.
Ashley Dayeli is grateful for the loans as they are increasing her sales and her income. She and her family buy and sell fish. They sell the fish scraps to factories where they make fish meal. They work three times a week. Also, in her house, she has a small retail space where she sells fresh fish by the pound.
This loan is to purchase fish and bags for packaging, pay for transportation, etc.
