A loan helped to buy sneakers.


Christian David's story

At age 24, Christian is living in Medellín and has shown a great capacity for work. Although he hasn't had access to a lot of resources, his determination led him to create his own business selling shoes, offering sneakers on credit for two months and home service.

His business hasn't just allowed him to support himself; it has also allowed him to dream of a better future. However, one of his main difficulties is the lack of capital to invest and grow. Christian is therefore asking for a loan to buy more merchandise (sneakers), to expand his inventory, and to attract new customers.

With your support, Christian will be able to strengthen his business, to generate more earnings, and to keep building a dignified life with effort and passion.
