Millerlandy Vanegas Catao runs her own Grocery store in Cali, Columbia.

Millerlandy (30) started the store seven years ago with a Microfinance loan of US 1, 000 dollars from the Women's World Bank i Colombia.

As the business developed, Millerlandy’s husband also began working there.

In the course of the last seven years she has taken up seven different Microfinance loans, most of which have already been paid back. The last loan was used to purchase a van to transport goods for herself and others.
