INFORME MUJERES ROFÉ - Febrero 2026

Queremos compartir con ustedes, nuestros donantes y aliados, los logros alcanzados durante el año 2025 y las proyecciones para el 2026 del programa Mujeres ROFÉ.

Durante 2025, Mujeres ROFÉ continuó transformando vidas en Colombia. Más de 4.700 mujeres, ubicadas en los 32 departamentos del país, fortalecieron su liderazgo y consolidaron sus emprendimientos gracias al acompañamiento integral del programa.

Presencia nacional de nuestra comunidad

Nuestra red de mujeres tiene presencia en todas las regiones del país, distribuida de la siguiente manera:

  • 42,9 % Costa Atlántica

  • 33,7 % Región Andina

  • 14,5 % Costa Pacífica

  • 4,9 % Orinoquía

  • 4,0 % Amazonía

Evaluación de impacto social

Realizamos evaluaciones constantes para medir el impacto del programa en las participantes, obteniendo resultados altamente positivos:

  • 87 % reporta un impacto significativo del programa en su vida

  • 95 % recomendaría Mujeres ROFÉ a otras mujeres

  • 85 % manifiesta haber experimentado cambios positivos gracias al programa

Avances en inclusión y formación

Durante el año 2025, 991 mujeres participaron en los cursos de formación, mientras que 1.135 mujeres asistieron a talleres y charlas especializadas. Estas acciones impactaron de manera directa a 1.409 emprendimientos que hoy hacen parte activa de la comunidad ROFÉ.

Cerramos el último trimestre del año con actividades clave como:

  • Charlas de salud mental en alianza con Curesia

  • El taller “Tu imagen también construye tu futuro: tu mentalidad crea tu realidad”, liderado por Style lab workshop

  • El curso “Empoderamiento en Ventas: Lleva tu Negocio al Siguiente Nivel”, que marcó el cierre del ciclo de capacitaciones

Microcréditos

Los hallazgos confirman que el microcrédito es un catalizador de movilidad social y empoderamiento femenino. Más allá de la inyección de capital, el programa fortalece el rol de la mujer como cabeza de hogar y agente de toma de decisiones.

Si bien persisten desafíos estructurales, como la “doble jornada” laboral y doméstica, los resultados de ROFÉ son consistentes con la evidencia global y destacan un modelo institucional eficaz, que integra financiamiento con acompañamiento formativo.
Durante el 2025, 38 mujeres se beneficiaron de los microcréditos para invertir directamente en sus negocios.

Give a Hand

Con gran orgullo, participamos en noviembre de 2025 en el encuentro «Estrechar lazos de solidaridad en tiempos de crisis», junto al equipo de Monde par la Main. Este espacio permitió el intercambio de experiencias y el fortalecimiento de alianzas estratégicas para continuar creciendo y promoviendo la solidaridad.


Proyección 2026

Para el año 2026, continuaremos fortaleciendo la participación y ampliando nuestra red de mujeres. Iniciamos la convocatoria de ingreso de mujeres en el mes de febrero, con el objetivo de llegar a más emprendedoras beneficiarias de nuestro programa.

Adicionalmente, estamos trabajando en la reestructuración de nuestros cinco cursos de formación, junto a un equipo de expertos, abordando de manera integral temas de habilidades blandas, emprendimiento, finanzas, ventas y estrategias digitales.

Agradecimiento

Queremos expresar nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a aliados como Mister Specialties y a cada donante que cree en nuestro propósito. Gracias a su apoyo, las participantes acceden a formación práctica que fortalece sus negocios y proyectos de vida.

Su confianza y compromiso hacen parte de esta energía transformadora que impulsa el crecimiento, el aprendizaje y el emprendimiento de miles de mujeres en Colombia.

¡Gracias por ser parte de ROFÉ!

 

ENGLISH VERSION

MUJERES ROFÉ REPORT- February 2026

We would like to share with you, our donors and partners, the achievements reached during 2025 and the projections for 2026 of the Mujeres ROFÉ program.

Throughout 2025, Mujeres ROFÉ continued transforming lives in Colombia. More than 4,700 women, located across the 32 departments of the country, strengthened their leadership skills and consolidated their businesses through the program’s comprehensive support.

National presence of our community

Our network of women is present in all regions of the country, distributed as follows:

  • 42.9% Caribbean Coast

  • 33.7% Andean Region

  • 14.5% Pacific Coast

  • 4.9% Orinoquía

  • 4.0% Amazon Region

Social impact assessment

We conduct ongoing evaluations to measure the program’s impact on participants, achieving highly positive results:

  • 87% report a significant impact of the program on their lives

  • 95% would recommend Mujeres ROFÉ to other women

  • 85% state they have experienced positive life changes thanks to the program

Progress in inclusion and training

During 2025, 991 women participated in training courses, while 1,135 women attended workshops and specialized talks. These initiatives directly impacted 1,409 businesses that are now active members of the ROFÉ community.

We closed the last quarter of the year with key activities such as:

  • Mental health talks in partnership with Curesia

  • The workshop “Your Image Also Builds Your Future: Your Mindset Creates Your Reality”, led by Style lab workshop

  • The course “Sales Empowerment: Take Your Business to the Next Level”, which marked the conclusion of the training cycle

Microcredits

The findings confirm that microcredit acts as a catalyst for social mobility and women’s empowerment. Beyond capital injection, the program strengthens women’s roles as heads of household and decision-makers.

Although structural challenges persist—such as the “double workday” of paid and domestic labor—the results of ROFÉ align with global evidence and highlight an effective institutional model that integrates financing with educational support.
In 2025, 38 women benefited from microcredits.

Give a Hand

With great pride, in November 2025 we participated in the meeting “Strengthening Bonds of Solidarity in Times of Crisis”, together with the Monde par la Main team. This space enabled the exchange of experiences and the strengthening of strategic alliances to continue growing and promoting solidarity.

2026 Outlook

In 2026, we will continue strengthening participation and expanding our network of women. We launched the admissions call in February, aiming to reach more women entrepreneurs who are heads of household.

Additionally, we are working on the restructuring of our five training courses, together with a team of experts, addressing in an integrated manner topics such as soft skills, entrepreneurship, finance, sales, and digital strategies.

Acknowledgment

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to partners such as Mister Specialties and to every donor who believes in our mission. Thanks to their support, participants gain access to practical training that strengthens their businesses and life projects.

Your trust and commitment are part of this transformative energy that drives growth, learning, and entrepreneurship for thousands of women in Colombia.

Thank you for being part of ROFÉ!
