A loan helped to buy threads, fabrics, zippers, and other supplies.


Luz Elena's story

For several years, Luz Elena has not only found her sustenance in dress making, but also her passion. She lives in Medellín, is married and with pried she has taken her family ahead thanks to the love and dedication she puts in every stitch.

Her products are well received in her community, who recognize the quality and detail in her work. But like every enterprise, her workshop needs a new boost. For that, Luz Elena is requesting a loan to buy threads, fabrics, zippers, stuffing, and other essential supplies to continue with her production.

With this loan she will be able to advance in some requests, improve her stock, and continue delivering to her customers. More than an investment in materials, this is a bet for the talent, consistency, and effort of a woman who has made of her work a way of life.
