Refugee Starts Again as a Locksmith
Alex is a man from Túquerres, a municipality in the department of Nariño - Colombia, located 57.4 km from the Ecuadorian city of Tulcán. The constant natural disasters and armed conflicts in the area has caused the economy to decline, making it unsustainable for Alex to remain in his place. Thanks to his work, his daily effort and the timely credit from VisionFund Bank Ecuador, Alex and his family feel confident in their new home and achieving another of their dreams: to see their daughters become professionals in the near future.
