Ecuador
Leidy Tatiana is a 23-year-old young entrepreneur who lives with her parents in the province of Imbabura, Ecuador.
Since childhood, she has been surrounded by fabrics, often watching her mother sew clothes at home. Upon reaching adulthood, she began working at a relative’s tailoring workshop, where she honed her skills and gained valuable knowledge of the trade.
With three years of experience and the support of her sister, Leidy managed to purchase her own sewing machine. She now uses it to make pyjamas for both adults and children. She produces garments during the week and sells them at local fairs on the weekends. During peak season, she hires an assistant to help meet increased demand.
Leidy has applied for a loan to purchase supplies and boost her production. She plans to allocate approximately £715 towards fabric, with the remainder used to buy thread and needles. This will enable her to produce more garments and increase her sales. With the loan, Leidy will acquire the materials needed to make more pyjamas and sell them at fairs—particularly in high demand during the cold season—thereby growing her income.
