Here are some of the clients who benefited from a Windmill loan

Looking for a better life for her kids, Alexandra, a Colombian dentist, moved to Canada thinking she probably wouldn’t work in her profession again.

Looking for a better life for her kids, Alexandra, a Colombian dentist, moved to Ontario with her family in 2011 thinking that she probably wouldn’t work in her profession again.

After working in a few “survival jobs” and later assisting with teeth cleanings, Alexandra was determined to obtain her Canadian dentistry license. She needed to enroll in preparatory courses to write an evaluation, but money was tight. Fortunately, a bacteriologist from Colombia told her about Windmill Microlending.

After fulfilling all the requirements to practise dentistry in Ontario, Alexandra received her license in February 2017.

“I applied for many loans but couldn’t get any. I was a newcomer, so it was tough to get a loan. I was grateful because after touching many doors, Windmill gave me the money I needed.”

Already established in her dentistry career back home in India, Binal arrived in Canada in 2014, and within days, she began working in a sandwich shop to support her family. Things were difficult with long shifts, behind the counter, where she handled and served meat-based products despite being a lifelong vegetarian. But Binal’s life “changed forever,” when she connected with her Windmill career success coach, Robert, who helped her on the path toward becoming a licensed dental professional in Canada.
