Diana Patricia is 58 years old and lives near the Aeroparque in the municipality of Medellín. She is an enterprising, kind woman with a clear vision: to continue contributing to the well-being of her home, where she lives with her husband and six children. She has always worked in retail, selling various products, a business that has allowed her to support her family with hard work and dedication.
Today, Diana Patricia sees a great opportunity to grow: the traditional flower festival, an iconic celebration in Medellín that attracts tourists and locals alike. For this reason, she is requesting a loan to invest in the purchase of hats, ponchos, flower necklaces, and Styrofoam “silletas” [decorative flower displays]. She plans to sell these items mainly at school parades featuring “silleteritos ” [children who carry “silletas” on their backs] and at local outdoor markets.
With this investment, she will be able to offer traditional and creative products, increase her income, and establish her business in an environment rich in culture and tradition.
