This is Karen, a 29-year-old woman who works making and selling food. She has a retail space which, thanks to her cooking, cleaning friendliness, and good service, has been growing in customers.
She lives in the municipality of Apartadó, a post-conflict zone, resulting in this loan presenting greater risk.
She comes to the Kiva community asking for a loan to purchase a program to systematize her business, with a program that allows her to create invoices, orders, and more.
The reason for the loan is that she wants to update herself, to give better service, and to have a means to track her sales, the most selected dishes, and more.
