Amparo is a skilled entrepreneur from San Luis, Antioquia, with five years of experience selling food. She operates a stand where she prepares and offers french fries, empanadas, pastries, cheese sticks, arepas, and other typical products. She serves about 350 people a day, especially during peak hours in the morning and evening. Thanks to her good service, speed, and quality in preparation, she has built a loyal clientele who frequently visit her stand looking for her homemade delicacies.
Amparo lives with her husband and two of her six children in a house they rent monthly. Her adult children are independent, and together they share household responsibilities.
A loan of 5,684,617 COP will allow Amparo to purchase a motorcycle that will enable her to include home delivery services for her products. This investment will help her expand her customer base, improve delivery times, and generate more income.
In Colombia, the motorcycle is a vital tool for micro-entrepreneurs due to the lack of efficient public transportation, challenging terrain, and the high cost of cars.
