Supporting Small Businesses

On a busy street in Chunchi known for its vibrant small businesses, we spoke with local vendors selling everything from toys and clothing to shoes, souvenirs, and food. Through these interviews, we gained valuable insight into the daily challenges they face—limited access to credit, rising costs, and a lack of financial guidance. These conversations made it clear how targeted support and funding from a nonprofit like Operation Raíces could help them grow, stabilize, and continue serving their community.
