Nellys Del Carmen

Nellys is a young woman who is 25 years old. From the time she was very young, she learned the skill of making and selling "pinolillo" [a cornmeal and cacao drink] with her mother.

At this time, Nellys is a single mother of a young child who is her principal source of inspiration. In view of this, she wants to become independent and begin to generate her own income.

Nellys has knocked on the doors of MiCredito with the purpose of requesting a Kiva loan to buy wholesale corn for making and beginning to sell pinolillo, so that she can move her child forward. Her goal is to have a stable business and to diversify little by little.
