Zaida's story
Zaida is 52 years old and has been living in a common-law marriage in Cartagena for several years. She lives with her husband, who is a self-employed merchant, and has adult children.
She has owned a general store selling various goods and meats for 10 years, which operates out of her home.
She will use the COP 8,000,000 loan specifically to strengthen her working capital, primarily to purchase inventory for the back-to-school season, ensuring greater turnover and continuity of the business.
