Despite his young age, Juan faces significant challenges, especially since he lacks the necessary capital to purchase expensive supplies.

   			Camilo is a man who isn&#039;t afraid of work. In the municipality of Coyaima, he decided to turn his dreams of a decent life into his own business manufacturing plastic bottles. Every day is different; he doesn&#039;t work fixed hours. He starts early and finishes late. He works around every order with commitment, responsibility and constant effort.

Everything he does has a clear purpose: his family. Camilo works with the aim of delivering them stability, peace of mind and a better future. Today he seeks the momentum that will allow him to take the next step on his entrepreneurial journey: a loan from Corporación Interactuar for the purchase of the merchandise and raw materials necessary to manufacture plastic bottles, such as low-density polyethylene, antioxidants and other essential materials.

His dream is to improve his business processes, strengthen his production and achieve the growth of which he has made so much with dedication and perseverance.

   			Santiago is a young man of 23.  He has created his path to success through dedication, and he is now an independent merchant in the southeast of Antioquia.

From a very young age he learned the value of hard work and for the past 8 years he has delivered household appliances to cities and rural areas, travelling through each area on his motorcycle to meet the needs of customers.

His biggest motivation is his daughter, aged 7 months, for whom he works hard each day to offer her a future full of opportunities.

Now Santiago is seeking a loan to add to the merchandise in his business such as blenders, pots, sheets, microwaves, mattresses.

With this influx of money, Santiago will be able to strengthen his business, stock up with a better inventory to continue satisfying needs and requests of the customers that visit him.

   			Simon is 27 years old and has a clear conviction: work well done opens doors. In the municipality of Jardín, he dedicates his days to his accounting consultant business, where he works tirelessly accompanying people and businesses in making the best financial decisions. His knowledge and vocation for service have allowed him to see a real opportunity to practice his profession on his own and generate an impact in his community.

With discipline and responsibility, Simon has build trust with each client. Today he sees in an entity such as Interactuar, a partner to continue growing. For this, he asks Corporación Interactuar for a loan to purchase a laptop, a tool which will give him greater flexibility to offer his services, serve more potential clients, and improve his income.

This Corporación Interactuar loan is another step toward his great dream: owning a house. For Simon, each workday and each consultation done well are part of this daily motivation that pushes him to get ahead.

Although his bakery has grown through hard work, Leon faces a challenge that limits his operations: public transportation only runs two days a week, so he depends on his vehicle to travel to buy ingredients. Today, his greatest need is to repair it so he can maintain uninterrupted production.

That&#039;s why he&#039;s applying for a loan from Corporación Interactuar, which will allow him to get his vehicle back on the road, ensure timely deliveries, and improve his business&#039;s sales. This boost represents an opportunity to continue providing fresh bread and sustenance to his family and his community.

   			Dairo, a 60-year-old man, lives in Puerto Boyacá with his wife and has dedicated much of his life to a craft he knows perfectly: making leather shoes. He started this business several years ago as a way to generate income, and over time, it became his main source of support and a source of personal pride.

However, the high cost of living has led him to seek new ways to strengthen his small business. Dairo wants to expand the variety of products he offers his customers and improve the quality of the materials he works with. To achieve this, he is applying for a loan from Corporación Interactuar, which he will use to purchase leather and other supplies needed for shoemaking.

With this boost, he will be able to adequately supply his business, increase his production, and respond more efficiently to daily demand. Supporting Dairo means believing in the artisanal talent that transforms leather into opportunities.

   			Ricardo, a 62-year-old man, has built his life through hard work and perseverance. He lives in the city of Ibagué, where for years he has provided maintenance and repair services as a self-employed contractor—a trade he has mastered through experience and dedication.

Thanks to this work, Ricardo has been able to support his family and remain steadfast even in difficult times. Despite his efforts, he faces challenges inherent to his line of work: a lack of proper tools and essential supplies is limiting his productivity and forcing him to turn down jobs that could boost his income. Hoping to grow his business and offer more comprehensive service, Ricardo is applying for a loan today from Corporación Interactuar which he will use to purchase a variety of tools, in addition to auto body repair and painting supplies.

This investment will allow Ricardo to serve more customers, work more efficiently, and ensure a more stable income for his family. Ricardo dreams of continuing to grow and proving that, with discipline and determination, it is always possible to get ahead.

Today, Wilson dreams of taking the next step and tending larger projects. For this, he asks for a loan to acquire specialized machinery: a sprayer which allows him to work more efficiently, reach business customers, and expand his portfolio.

Wilson is grateful for this boost which Corporación Interactor facilitates and for the Kiva lenders. He is clear that it is not only for his business, it is an opportunity to ensure his loved ones&#039; stability and future, especially that of his children.

   			Mónica María, 44 years old, has dedicated a large part of her life to working for her child&#039;s wellbeing. She is a expert in the field of manicure and pedicure and today operates her small spa, where each service is a way of generating income and sustaining her household with dignity.

With the desire to improve her service and have the necessary raw materials, Mónica María asks for a loan to purchase nail polish, decorative supplies, and cleaning supplies for her spa.

This support will allow Mónica María to expand her offerings, strengthen her activity, and be competitive in the market as she has a lot of competition in the sector and wants to have a differentiating factor in addition to advancing toward the financial stability which she seeks so much for her family.

   			Víctor is an entrepreneur who converted challenges into a force for change. Facing the lack of work experience and difficulties in accessing a formal job, he decided to make his way in independent sales, creating his own business selling all sorts of shoes retail in the municipality of Medellín. 

With energy, discipline, and a strong spirit of improvement, Víctor has learned that entrepreneurship is also resistance. Each day, he opens his business with the conviction of offering quality and good service, while he works for his family&#039;s wellbeing. He is married and the father of three children, who are his greatest inspiration not to give up.

Today, he seeks the support of a Corporación Interactuar loan with which he plans to purchase tennis shoes wholesale, expanding his inventory and better responding to his customers&#039; demand. This boost will allow him to strengthen his enterprise and continue sustaining his household with dignity and effort.

Although she learned her trade empirically, over time she refined her technique and built a trade that makes her profoundly proud.

Digna seeks a loan to buy a hair dryer, a flat iron, an acrylic nail machine, and styling products. This investment will allow her to expand her services, improve her income, and continue providing wellbeing to those who come to her, while also helping her face competition in the sector.

Digna is grateful to the Interactuar Corporation and to Kiva’s lenders for the support they provide. They have helped her continue turning her enterprise into a sustainable business.

Several years ago, with effort and with a big dream, Beatriz started a small retail business selling textile products in Medellín.

   		   		&lt;br/&gt;
   			Francis has always dreamed of building something of her own. Several years ago, she decided to open a small grocery store store in her neighborhood in Medellín, a courageous venture that started as a way to generate income and provide stability for her life.

At 34 years old and living with her partner, Francis has turned her business into a gathering point for her neighbors, a place where she provides daily essentials with dedication and a well-known, welcoming smile.

However, the rising cost of living has made it difficult for her current income to cover both household expenses and the inventory levels her store requires. For this reason, Francis is seeking support from those who believe in dreams built step-by-step.

With a loan from Corporación Interactuar to buy wholesale inventory, including rice, oil, sugar, sodas, and other essentials, she will be able to access better pricing, increase her product variety, and better serve the needs of her community.

Every morning in the municipality of Puerto Salgar, she begins her workday by attending to her customers, fully aware that her daily efforts are the seeds of a better future. Although she is single and has no children, Diana dreams of continuing to grow and giving the very best of herself to her community.

What she has built to date is a source of great pride, a noble vocation coupled with a clear vision for progress. She also feels a profound sense of gratitude toward Corporación Interactuar, which has served as a key ally on her journey.

Today, Andrés is applying for a loan to purchase additional inventory: tires, oil filters, inner tubes, lubricants, motorcycle accessories, tire-mounting equipment, and large water bottles.

   		&lt;/a&gt;
   		   		   		&lt;b&gt;$25 of $875 raised.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

   			Started raising funds on Mar 30, 2026
   			&lt;br/&gt;
   		   		&lt;br/&gt;
   			At 60 years old, Rodolfo continues to prove that willpower and energy are not limited by age. He has dedicated more than four decades to passenger transportation, a job he began at a young age that became his main source of income and the foundation of his life. From the municipality of Ciudad Bolívar, Rodolfo works independently with admirable discipline, always committed to providing a safe and reliable service to his community.

Single and a hard worker, Rodolfo wants to continue strengthening his business, but recently his vehicle suffered a breakdown that temporarily took him out of service. The engine broke down and requires a complete overhaul to get it back to work normally.

Therefore, he is now requesting a loan from Corporación Interactuar to repair the engine and get his work vehicle running again. With this support, Rodolfo will be able to recover his income, improve his financial stability, and continue providing the transportation that so many people need.

   			Started raising funds on Mar 30, 2026
   			&lt;br/&gt;
   		   		&lt;br/&gt;
   			Omaira is a tireless woman—one of those who works from the heart and has built her life through discipline and love for her family. Thanks to her daily effort, she has managed to support her household and build her own business: a cozy beauty and massage studio in Medellín, where she transforms not only her clients’ appearance, but also their mood and confidence.

Omaira’s path has not been easy. She has faced hardships, financial challenges, and moments when she thought she couldn’t go on. But her passion for the beauty world and her deep desire to give her family a better life have kept her going.

Today, Omaira hopes to strengthen her business and take advantage of new opportunities. For that reason she seeks a loan from Corporación Interactuar to purchase a hair dryer, LED masks, slimming gels, shapewear, and other supplies that will allow her to expand her services and attract more clients.

   			Elsa, a 65-year-old farmer who grew up in a humble family dedicated to farm work. From a young age, she learned the value of hard work, honesty, and dedication—lessons that continue to guide her every step of the way. With that same strength, she managed to build her own business: a pet store that has become a support for her community and the main source of income for her household.

Her will to succeed is unbreakable. Every day, she wakes up determined to improve and seek new opportunities that will help her get ahead. Today, Elsa dreams of expanding her product line to attract more customers and increase her income.

That is why Elsa is applying for a loan from Corporación Interactuar to purchase pet food—for dogs, cats, and birds—and accessories such as toys, collars, bows, and baths, products that are in high demand in her area. This investment will allow her to reinforce her store, offer more variety, and continue to meet the needs of her family.

   			At age 39, Ángela has built her life with determination and love. She is the mother of two children, and has provided for them with consistent work and a deep desire to give them a better future. In her home in the municipality of Palestina, she has created a small business selling prepared foods, which was born from her talent for cooking and her entrepreneurial spirit. 

Today  Ángela dreams of taking one more step: acquiring a motorcycle that will permit her to make home deliveries and to stock up more easily. This means of transportation not only will improve her daily operation, but also will boost the growth of her business, helping her to increase her income and strengthen the economy of her household.  

With the support of the loan requested from the Corporación Interactuar, Ángela wants to continue fighting for her goals, to make her business more profitable, and to achieve the economic stability she so greatly deserves.

   			At age 32, Weiler is an example of effort and persistence. In the municipality of Apartadó, he has built his life with great determination, overcoming obstacles and working tirelessly to provide for his two children. He has made every challenge into motivation to seek a better future for his family. 

Several years ago, Weiler decided to start a business maintaining and repairing communication equipment, a skill he earned with dedication, and which today has become his principal source of income. However, his growth depends upon having better tools. 

Therefore, Weiler requests a loan from the Corporación Interactuar to acquire a  heating station and a special iron that will permit him to repair cell phones with greater efficiency. This investment will open the door to new services, increase his sales, and strengthen the economic stability of his home. 

Weiler dreams of continuing to progress, to grow as an entrepreneur, and to offer his family the quality of life that they deserve.

   			&lt;br/&gt;
   		   		&lt;br/&gt;
   			Adianniz is 30 years old, and has a history marked by bravery. She is in a common law marriage and is the mother of two children. She and her husband have created a new beginning in the town of Bello, Colombia.

She arrived in Colombia eight years ago after being displaced by the political situation in Venezuela. Far from giving up, her tenacity and perseverance motivated her to start a business. 

Some years ago she started her own retail business selling clothes. She set up a space in her home to tend to her customers, and also sells in people&#039;s homes, always seeking to facilitate access to quality clothing.

   			34-year-old Eduardo has a very clear motivation: the wellbeing of his son. As an enterprising father, he works every day to guarantee him a good standard of living and to share in the improvement of the household&#039;s financial situation. His dream is to build a stable future full of opportunities.

Several years ago with hard work and dedication, Edourdo started a business making clothing on contract in the municipality of Santa Rosa de Cabal. Since then he has demonstrated commitment, discipline and a strong wish to grow.

Today Eduardo is seeking a loan through the Corporación Interactuar to buy an overlock sewing machine, a key tool which will allow him to increase production capacity, improve the quality of his work, and strengthen sales. This investment represents a decisive step towards formalization and sustainability of his business.

To support Eduardo is to reward his skill, his honest work and the effort of a father to transform his job into progress for his family.

   		   		&lt;br/&gt;
   			Kenya is 39 years old, lives in a common-law union, and is the mother of a son who serves as her primary motivation to succeed. Several years ago, she discovered an opportunity within the beauty industry to forge her own path and generate an independent income.

In the municipality of Sabaneta, Kenya established her own beauty salon, a business she has sustained through hard work, perseverance, and a genuine passion for service.

With the aim of continuing to grow, she is now applying for a loan from Corporación Interactuar. These funds will be used to purchase supplies such as facial creams, keratin treatments, flat irons, hair dryers, and various hair care products. This investment will enable Kenya to expand her service portfolio, boost her sales, and better cater to the specific needs and preferences of her clientele.

Supporting Kenya means investing in the spirit of entrepreneurship, perseverance, and the sheer determination of a woman who is building her own future with her own two hands.

   			Just 31 years old, Jesús has shown that lack of capital is not a limit when there is a true will to get ahead. Moved by the desire to contribute to his household&#039;s sustenance and generate stability for his family, he decided to go into business raising pigs in the municipality of Sahagún, an activity which he has learned to develop with effort, patience, and daily commitment.

His business was born of necessity, but he has built it with discipline and a vision for the future. Each day represents for Jesús an opportunity to grow, learn, and strengthen his productive project, still facing the challenges inherent in the agricultural sector. 

Today, Jesús seeks financial support from Corporación Interactuar which allows him to purchase more pigs to raise and concentrated feed, key elements to improving the quality of his work and increasing his productivity.

   		&lt;/a&gt;
   		   		   		&lt;b&gt;$0 of $650 raised.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

   			Started raising funds on Apr 8, 2026
   			&lt;br/&gt;
   		   		&lt;br/&gt;
   			Marta has been an entrepreneur her whole life. Moved by the constant desire to achieve financial sustainability, she has explored different paths until she found in sewing clothing for third parties a real opportunity to get ahead and sustain her household.

From her workshop, Marta works every day with the idea of growing, improving, and positioning herself securely in the market, offering a very responsible and quality service. Her commitment to work well-done has pushed her to always seek the best results for her customers.

Today, Marta needs a boost to continue her path with access to a loan from Corporación Interactuar to purchase fabric, thread, zippers, buttons, ribbons, and other supplies fundamental to strengthening her workshop. This support will allow her to improve the quality of her sewn items, expand her service capacity, and continue building a solid future through her enterprise.

   		&lt;/a&gt;
   		   		   		&lt;b&gt;$0 of $875 raised.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

   			Started raising funds on Apr 8, 2026
   			&lt;br/&gt;
   		   		&lt;br/&gt;
   			Nothing in the world would manage to get Nacira give up when it comes to fulfilling her goals and dreams. At 58 years old she has demonstrated that strength, consistency and desire to get ahead have no age. Each day she works with dedication as an independent, with the firm purpose of supporting her family and building a more stable future.  

Nacira operates her own business selling clothing. She now dreams of expanding it, incorporating footwear, jeans, blouses, skirts, dresses and other products that would allow her to offer greater variety for her customers. In her undertaking she serves customers personally with commitment, convinced that honest effort is the path to progress. 

Today she is looking for a new boost. With the support of a loan from the Corporación Interactuar, Nacira can acquire more merchandise and enhance her business, increasing her income and assuring the continuity of her only means of work.

   		&lt;/a&gt;
   		   		   		&lt;b&gt;$0 of $1,100 raised.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

   			Started raising funds on Apr 8, 2026
   			&lt;br/&gt;
   		   		&lt;br/&gt;
   			Enma, 44, lives in the municipality of El Bagre and is the mother of three children, who are her greatest source of motivation to keep moving forward. Although she is single, through hard work, discipline, and a great deal of tenacity, she has carved out a path for herself as an independent entrepreneur.

For several years now, she has been running her hair salon and beauty treatment business, a trade she practices with passion and dedication. Every day, Enma opens the doors to her workplace with the dream of growing her business, improving her service, and providing a sense of well-being to every client who places their trust in her hands.

Today, Enma is seeking a new boost. With the support of a loan from Corporación Interactuar, she will be able to purchase a reclining chair, a hair straightener, brushes of various sizes, and other equipment—key investments that will allow her to improve her services, attract more clients, and increase her profits, thereby strengthening the future of her business and her family.
