Karen's story
Karen is a friendly shopkeeper in Jamundí, Valle del Cauca with 10 years of experience. She owns a grocery store where she offers essential household items such as rice, oil, sugar, grains, canned goods, cleaning products, and beverages. Her store is visited by more than 50 neighbors daily, and she also provides home delivery service with the help of a young messenger from her community, who makes deliveries on foot or by bicycle. This sometimes limits the speed of service and coverage in more distant areas.
Karen lives with her husband and daughter in a house they rent monthly. Her husband works independently and supports her in organizing the business and serving customers when demand increases.
A loan of $5,918,462 COP will allow Karen to purchase a motorcycle that will optimize home delivery services from her grocery store. This investment improves delivery times, expands service coverage, and allows her to increase sales, strengthening the stability of her commercial activity.
