Jesica's story
Jesica is an independent worker from Santander de Quilichao, Cauca, with six years of experience. She has a nursery where she offers a wide variety of plants and flowers, as well as coffee and cocoa seedlings. She also sells pots, enriched soil, and ornamental plants, keeping everything organized to serve more than 30 people daily, thanks to the quality of her products and the good service she provides.
Jesica lives with her husband and son, in her mother-in-law’s house. Her husband is a crucial support for her in managing the business, and they share the household expenses.
A loan of 6,666,759 COP allows Jesica to buy a motorcycle to facilitate her mobility and improve the delivery of products from the nursery. This investment strengthens the transportation needed to fulfill orders more quickly and expand customer service.
In Colombia, motorcycles are an essential tool for microentrepreneurs due to lack of efficient public transportation and high cost of automobiles.
