A loan helped to purchase tools such as a shovel, a pick, measuring tape, and more, and chickens.


Luis Alberto's story

Luis, from Puerto Berrío, is a model of effort and dedication. At 49 years old, single, and the father of a child, he has worked tirelessly to get his family ahead. He combines two trades: construction and raising broiler chickens, with these he has managed to sustain his household.



Today, Luis asks for a loan to invest in tools for his labor as a master builder and in purchasing more chickens to strengthen his business. This investment will allow him to improve his services, increase his customer base and face financial challenges with greater stability.



Luis is happy with the path he has been able to build so far, and he is confident that with the help of Interactuar and KIVA lenders, he will be able to continue making his business sustainable and will be able to meet his and his family's needs.
