Ceudin Esther Geles Alvarez
Ceudin is a member of the Trust Group “Success and Progress” and owns a small business buying and selling wood furniture from a small town called Sampués a few hours from where she lives in Cartagena.
Ceudin is also the general coordinator for her Trust Group, keeping track of the group’s savings and helping individual members with questions or problems.
Ceudin’s husband Rodrigo works at a chicken meat distributor called Campollo and together they have two children: both Wanderzlley, age 6, and Karely, age 4, currently attend elementary school.
By investing her loan in her business, Ceudin hopes to increase its size and profits, contributing toward her ultimate goal of operating a large furniture store. Her personal goals include owning her own home, providing a professional education for her children, and having her household be an example for others.

Ceudin continues to sell furniture from the town of Sampués, known for its prolific and high-quality furniture production. She reports that her best-selling items are currently study desks for students, bedside tables, and small tables, and she has begun selling wood flower vases, which are also produced in Sampués.
Ceudin used her Opportunity loan to purchase more inventory for her business, and she says that her greater inventory has attracted new clients from her neighborhood of La Candelaria. She has also been able to keep one of the tables for herself for the use of her family.
