A loan helped to buy stock wholesale.


Luz Estella's story

At 70 years old, Luz Estella is a model of strength and entrepreneurship in the municipality of Sonsón. A mother of three adult children with a life built on family, one day she decided to take a bold step: to open her own business selling merchandise.

Since then, Luz Estella has been able to gain a loyal clientele and to maintain good sales, thanks to her charisma and commitment.

Today Luz Estella dreams of continuing to grow. She wants to take a loan that will permit her to buy stock wholesale in El Hueco, Medellín, such as blankets, sheets, socks, and pajamas. With this investment, she will be able to expand her offering, attract more customers, and strengthen her business.

Thanks to her business, she has been able to support household expenses and also to give herself little treats to brighten her day.
