Willian Alfonso's story

Willian Alfonso is a 38 year old micro-entrepreneur who lives in the city of Barranquilla with his wife. This entrepreneur started his business selling spare parts and repairing bicycles to generate more income for his household.

He found this way of growing economically through the repairing of bicycles, which he learned empirically. Thanks to his consistency and sharpness for learning his business, he has recognition and good customers, which have generated good profits.

His family is his main strength because they motivate him day after day to open his business with the perspective of growth. He also has the support of his mother and father, and lives in their family home.

Currently he is asking for this Kiva loan, the first financing he has done with the Mario Santo Domingo Foundation, to invest in spare parts for bicycles like tires, wheels, wire twist, kickstands, cushions, batteries, cables, etc.

His goal is to strengthen his business working capital to increase his supply of spare parts, to make great profits. Willian dreams of having his own retail shop. If you support him in his business loan, he will be a success.
