4 to Encuentro Mujeres ROFE - Octubre 2024

Queremos compartir con ustedes, nuestros donantes, los logros alcanzados en 2024 y el progreso significativo que hemos tenido durante los primeros meses de 2025 con el programa Mujeres ROFÉ en Colombia. Este programa sigue siendo una plataforma transformadora para mujeres cabeza de hogar, brindándoles herramientas y oportunidades que impactan positivamente en sus familias y comunidades.

Crecimiento de la Comunidad

Nos llena de orgullo informar que nuestra comunidad ha superado las 4,300 mujeres provenientes de más de 460 municipios en los 32 departamentos de Colombia. Esto representa una presencia nacional completa, un hito que superó nuestras metas y expectativas.

En julio de 2024, sumamos a nuestro aliado Give a Hand, quien permitió la realización de una convocatoria nacional que benefició directamente a 300 mujeres en todo el país. Este apoyo ha sido fundamental para consolidar la inclusión y el fortalecimiento de la comunidad.

Actividades Formativas y Talleres

A continuación, destacamos algunas de las principales actividades y logros del último trimestre de 2024:

Cursos Realizados

  • De la idea a la acción: tu guía para emprender con éxito (octubre): Con un grado de satisfacción del 97.8%.
  • Transforma tu negocio con estrategias digitales (noviembre): Con un grado de satisfacción del 97.6%.

Charlas y Talleres en Alianza con Expertos

  • Tipos de contrato con Michael Page.
  • Taller sobre plan de saneamiento básico y buenas prácticas de manufactura con Mister Specialties.
  • Alimentación consciente con Brahma Kumaris.
  • Servicio al cliente con Jennifer Francis.

Talleres de Mindfulness y Bienestar

Organizamos talleres con sesiones de tres encuentros cada uno, abordando temas relevantes para el desarrollo personal y profesional de nuestras participantes, como:

  • Retos de una mujer empresaria.
  • Herramientas para fortalecer la autoestima y avanzar en el desarrollo personal.

Estos espacios han sido guiados por nuestros mentores y aliados, quienes han contribuido significativamente a la integración y enriquecimiento del programa.

Avance del Proyecto Piloto i-Credit

En alianza con la Fundación Blessing, continuamos la gestión del proyecto piloto de microcrédito i-Credit, que busca aliviar las presiones financieras de las emprendedoras. Hasta el momento, hemos logrado:

  • Una tasa de recaudo (repago) mantenida entre el 60% y el 65%.
  • 10 de las 25 beneficiarias han completado satisfactoriamente el ciclo de crédito, reportando mejoras significativas en sus negocios y bienestar familiar.

Proyección 2025

Estamos trabajando activamente para ampliar nuestro plan curricular, desarrollando nuevos cursos, talleres y charlas que continúen beneficiando a nuestra comunidad. También seguimos fortaleciendo alianzas estratégicas para llevar el programa a más mujeres en Colombia.

Agradecimiento

Nada de esto sería posible sin el apoyo invaluable de nuestros donantes. Gracias por su confianza y compromiso, por ser parte de esta energía transformadora que impulsa el crecimiento y desarrollo de tantas mujeres.

¡Gracias por ser ROFÉ!


ENGLISH VERSION

We are excited to share the achievements reached in 2024 and the significant progress made during the first months of 2025 with the Mujeres ROFÉ program in Colombia. This program continues to be a transformative platform for women heads of households, providing them with tools and opportunities that positively impact their families and communities.

Community Growth

We are proud to report that our community has grown to over 4,300 women from more than 460 municipalities across all 32 departments of Colombia. This represents a complete national presence, a milestone that exceeded our goals and expectations.

In July 2024, we partnered with Give a Hand, enabling a national call that directly benefited 300 women across the country. This support has been crucial for consolidating inclusivity and strengthening the community.

Training Activities and Workshops

Below are some key activities and achievements from the last quarter of 2024:

Completed Courses

 

  • From Idea to Action: Your Guide to Successful Entrepreneurship (October): With a satisfaction rate of 97.8%.

 

  • Transform Your Business with Digital Strategies (November): With a satisfaction rate of 97.6%.

Talks and Workshops in Partnership with Experts

  • Types of contracts with Michael Page.
  • Workshop on basic sanitation plans and good manufacturing practices with Mister Specialties.
  • Conscious eating with Brahma Kumaris.
  • Customer service workshop with Jennifer Francis.


Mindfulness and Wellness Workshops

We organized workshops with three-session series, covering essential topics for the personal and professional development of our participants, such as:

  • Challenges of being a businesswoman.
  • Tools to boost self-esteem and foster personal growth.

These sessions were led by our mentors and program partners, who have significantly contributed to the integration and enrichment of the program.

Progress of the i-Credit pilot project

In partnership with Bleassing Foundation, we continue to manage the i-Credit pilot microcredit project, which seeks to alleviate financial pressures for women entrepreneurs. So far, we have achieved:

  • A repayment rate maintained between 60% and 65%.
  • 10 out of 25 beneficiaries have successfully completed the credit cycle, reporting significant improvements in their businesses and family well-being.

2025 Outlook

We are actively working to expand our curriculum plan by developing new courses, workshops, and talks that will continue to benefit our community. We are also strengthening strategic partnerships to reach more women in Colombia.

None of this would be possible without the invaluable support of our donors. Thank you for your trust and commitment, for being part of this transformative energy that drives the growth and development of so many women.

¡Thank you for being ROFÉ!
