Cielo Yaneth's story

Cielo is a single mother. She is a victim of displacement, but, in spite of this, she has always been a very entrepreneurial person. She began her retail food business in the municipality of Turbo.

She is currently requesting an Interactuar loan for working capital to buy an assortment of drinks, snacks, breads, packaged water, and legumes. This will allow her to stock her store with more variety to satisfy the demand which is growing. This will result in improving her sales and increasing her customers in an effective way.

Cielo is grateful for the opportunity being provided to her by the corporation and the Kiva lenders so that she can continue maintaining her business.
