Mariela's story
Mariela is an artisanal cook from Espinal, Tolima, with 14 years of experience. She sells homemade lunches, such as soups, rice with meat, stews, and other traditional dishes, offering nutritious and high-quality meals to her clients. She prepares more than 50 lunches daily, which she sells to various local farmers with the help of a young community member, ensuring timely delivery and customer satisfaction.
Mariela lives with her husband in a house they rent monthly. Her husband works in various tasks on farms, indirectly supporting the stability of the household and the business.
A loan of $5,988,611 COP allows her to purchase a motorcycle to facilitate lunch deliveries. This investment optimizes distribution times, improves logistical efficiency, and contributes to the growth and sustainability of her business, ensuring that more customers receive their products promptly.
Motorcycles in Colombia are an essential tool for microentrepreneurs due to the lack of efficient public transportation and the cost of automobiles.
