Catalina Perez's Chicken Coop - Canglon, Panama
Economic Challenge
She used to sell about 35 chicken every 3 months, although she has suspended this activity due to administrative challenges. Catalina’s main challenge has been getting her business back up and running. She ran out of supplies as she was not keeping track of her business financials. Her lack of financial literacy is a second challenge keeping her from growing her business.
The Business
Solutions are expanding on Catalina’s current book keeping knowledge and showing her how she can keep track of her income and expenditures. Brigades will also help her strategize as to how she can build up her business again to be better than it was before she took a break.
Competitive Advantage
There is always a demand for poultry in the community.
Obstacles
Catalina received a brigade a couple of years ago, there she learned the basics of book-keeping, now she is hoping to learn more through this brigade and actually use book-keeping tools (daily ledger) for her poultry business. The current lack of organized book keeping is a major obstacle.
