A loan helped to buy a griddle for her food cart.


Kelly Jhoana's story

At 25 years old, Kelly is passionate about her work and deeply committed to the well-being of her family. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, she was able to start her own retail food business, which has become her main source of income and a tool to improve the quality of life of her loved ones.

Every day, Kelly wakes up with the hope of continuing to grow. Today, Kelly dreams of improving her arepa [a type of savory corn cake] cart, an essential part of her business. Therefore, she is applying for a loan that will allow her to repair her cart's griddle and purchase more supplies. This investment will not only improve the quality of the service she offers, but will also allow her to increase her income and continue moving toward a more stable future.

Supporting Kelly means believing in the power of small actions that transform lives. It means supporting a young entrepreneur who, with each arepa, also cooks her dreams.
