Nathaly


Nathaly is quiet and shy. At 22, she's one of the younger women in the cooperative. She has a son and a daughter. Nathaly grew up in Ingenio Santa Fe, the nearby sugarcane plantation that employed a large part of the community before it shut down in 1996. She moved here to Villa Aleman with her family when she was fourteen.

"I'm very excited to be part of this program because it has always been my dream to learn how to sew." -Nathaly Rodriguez
