one-two-three punch. First, parts of the economy that were smacked hardest and earliest by job losses were ones where women dominate \u2013 restaurants, retail businesses and healthcare. Then a second wave began taking out local and state jobs, another area where women outnumber men. The third blow has, for many, been the knockout: the closing of childcare centers and the shift to remote schooling. That has saddled working mothers, much more than fathers, with overwhelming household responsibilities.<sup>1<\/sup><\/p><p>In Colombia, most schools have been closed since March of last year with widespread deterioration in income. GDP fell -6.8% in 2020. On a per capita basis it decreased from $535 to $449 per month.

The organization provides early childhood care for 800 kids, career training for their mothers and support for 50 seniors, as well as helping 30 at-risk youth. Despite a good relationship with the government and strong demand from the local community, 2020\u2019s economic downturn brought added struggles to their ability to deliver essential services. For much of the year, FST could only offer modified programming to comply with local health directives, but they continued to do their best to serve the community.<\/p><p>Divina, a board and finance team member, explains, \u201cDuring the pandemic, we had to reduce our services to a minimum, but we were able to retain everyone on our team and didn\u2019t have to let anyone go. The government is a great customer, but lately they have been paying later than usual, which has put even more pressure on our finances.\u201d<\/p><p>She continues, \u201cThe pandemic has had an extremely negative effect on many of the families we serve. Many don\u2019t own a phone and can\u2019t receive messages about schooling or healthcare access. Oftentimes they have to set up a call through another family member or neighbor to be able to access vital information regarding their children\u2019s virtual education, or even their family\u2019s livelihood.

Dedicated to delivering working capital to small businesses and making lasting contributions to society, Alexandra\u2019s company has delivered positive financial returns and social impact. Alexandra explains, \u201cWith the collapse of in-person education and social support services, working capital was needed more than ever before. Fundaci\u00f3n La Santisima Trinidad was one of our first clients. We do everything we can to find a way so that teachers are paid on time.\u201d FST has an annual contract with the government and an excellent record of providing high-quality care, but the process of getting paid can be slow. Divina knows that she has a friend who understands her business which gives her confidence. \u201cI know she is grateful to have a financing partner who really cares about her and her organization.\u201d<\/p><p>The strong partnership extends through to AGC. \u201cWe think about our relationship with AGC like Divina thinks about us,\u201d Alexandra explains. \u201cThey are inside our business. We share many values, such as financial inclusion. We want to generate revenue, but also create a positive impact. Starting a company has been my biggest challenge in life. It\u2019s really nice, but hard. When we were just starting out, the first hurdle we faced was financing. As a start-up, we had no financing options available to us. AGC believed in us from the beginning and backed us with a small line of credit, and we\u2019ve been steadily growing exposure since our inception in 2018.\u201d<\/p><p>Thanks to her early investment in technology, Alexandra\u2019s company was positioned for success in 2020. \u201cWe were ready for the anticipated shift to e-invoicing and digitization when the pandemic hit. Our digital platform makes it easy for investors, invoice issuers (small businesses) and payers to interact efficiently and securely. During the pandemic, we also doubled down on our internal work and focused on improving our corporate governance, upgrading our platform and obtaining additional security certifications to better protect sensitive client information.\u201d Her digitization efforts have already paid off. Alexandra explains, \u201cIn 2020, we focused on the businesses in the economy that were still working and were able to increase revenue by 200% and triple our client base (from 50 to 150).\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3ff1ca34 elementor-reverse-tablet elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3ff1ca34\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-24b2132f\" data-id=\"24b2132f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4aad278a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4aad278a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u201cThese successes enable me to continue serving dynamic entrepreneurs struggling to access working capital \u2013 on terms that work for them and in ways that better our society as a whole.\u201d Divina agrees, stating, \u201cOur foundation employs 169 people (over 80% of whom are women). We were relieved to know we were able to keep our staff during this difficult time thanks to our ability to access working capital.\u201d<\/p><p>Alexandra is committed to creating more opportunities for women both within her company and in the wider community. The three recent additions to the team were all women and have been extremely valuable. \u201cIn this phase of my company, my team\u2019s organizational skills and flexibility have been critical to my success. I could not have met my goals without them.\u201d She continues, \u201cThe tech area is always crowded with men.\u201d In an effort to create a stronger pipeline of female candidates for the future, she plans to work with a tech bootcamp that provides programming skills and placement support for low-income population. According to business manager Pedro, \u201cThe program helps create social mobility.\u201d<\/p><p>Ultimately, Alexandra\u2019s factoring support has not only provided Divina\u2019s organization with flexible financial terms, but also hope. Divina states, \u201cI\u2019m very optimistic for the future. I feel hopeful about the next six to 12 months. We\u2019re anticipating the government asking us to increase our services moving forward. We know we provide good, essential services that are hugely impacting our community. Thanks to support from AGC\u2019s partner, we\u2019re able to further support the lives of those who need it
