Henry

Henry is an entrepreneur from Pasto, Nariño, with 20 years of experience. He operates a mobile stand selling raspados (refreshing beverages made from shaved ice and flavored syrups) and prepared mango in different presentations, located in a local park with good foot traffic. He prepares around 80 cups of raspados using a manual ice crusher that he has used for several years in his daily activity; however, this manual process requires greater physical effort, increases preparation time, and limits the number of cups he can produce.

Henry lives in a rented house, from where he organizes his daily activity and manages his livelihood through his business.

A loan of $3,765,605 COP allows Henry to acquire an automatic ice crusher that replaces the manual process, reduces physical effort, and shortens preparation times. This investment increases his production capacity, improves customer service, and allows him to offer a greater number of cups per day and increase his income.
