Dear Donors,
First of all, we would like to thank you again for your generous donations to the project "Micro - credits for Baru Island young entrepreneurs".
The following is a brief summary of the progress of the project, you have supported:
1. On Friday, October 4, we received the resources initially raised: 11.964.409 Colombian Pesos.
2. On October 24, after searching for an entity with great experience in managing micro - credit with low-income people in Cartagena, we partnered with Fundación Indufrial.
3. On October 31st we had 3 meetings with young entrepreneurs of the 3 towns located in the Island (Ararca, Santa Ana and Baru) interested in participating in the project.
During the meetings, we talked to them about several topics: a) The resources raised through the Give for Youth and Global Giving's platforms, b) the Hernan Echavarria Foundation and our partnership with Indufrial Foundation, c) the project, d) the project conditions, and e) the project schedule.
64 young entrepreneurs assisted and showed interest in participating in the project, by taking with them the forms to fill them.
The deadline to return the completed forms is November 1.
In the coming days we will review the information provided and check if any of the interested are reported in a risk management center.
Those who are not, will be called for the first training on November 4, on how to develop a business plan.
We will continue to post regular reports to keep you informed on the project progress.
With gratitude,
Ana Milena Ordosgoitia
