Loan summary
Through LendForGood, Vivaldi has financed two other projects this year which are currently being delivered. Both loans are due to be paid in early 2026 and like this project, directly support Vivaldi’s mission to expand access to health and strengthen emergency response capacity in Latin America.
This new loan corresponds to a different, independent contract awarded by Bogotá’s Fondo Financiero Distrital de Salud as part of the Más Bienestar health model. Under this contract, Vivaldi will supply and install biomedical devices — including portable videolaryngoscopes, blood pressure Holters, fetal Dopplers, and portable videocystoscopes—in selected hospitals of the city’s public health network. The project strengthens diagnostic capacity and equips medical teams to provide timely, high-quality care in vulnerable areas.
Because several large projects overlap in time (August to October 2025), this loan allows Vivaldi to maintain operational liquidity and timely execution without compromising its financial stability. It also demonstrates the value of project-based financing to enable sustainable growth while staying true to Vivaldi’s mission: expanding access to healthcare and ensuring that life-saving equipment reaches the communities that need it most.
Borrower's mission
Vivaldi, a social enterprise with over 21 years of experience in the healthcare sector across Latin America and the Caribbean, is dedicated to simplifying the vital task of caring for life by improving access to health services and equipment. Over the past four years, through one of its business lines, Vivaldi has executed more than 30 projects in different countries, delivering, installing, and maintaining biomedical equipment while training healthcare staff in its use.
Managing and executing projects that strengthen hospital infrastructure and healthcare networks. Vivaldi is the conduit between NGOs, government entities and manufacturers, to get the right equipment, devices and services sourced, delivered, installed, tested at the site and do the after-sales support in local communities ensuring access to health.
Through their brand Amigo Corazón, they also specialise in preparing spaces and training people to respond effectively in cases of sudden cardiac arrest in Colombia. Their innovative approach is to not just sell in the equipment (an Automated External Defibrillator) but to sell a managed service allowing companies to focus on their core business while staying prepared.
Vivaldi has adopted a crowdlending strategy to finance specific contracts for the following reasons:
- The spike in interest rates in Colombia in 2022 made long-term corporate financing unsustainable, leading Vivaldi to restructure its approach and ensure that only confirmed, short-cycle contracts are financed independently.
- In December 2022, Vivaldi realised that traditional bank loans were risky and misaligned with project timelines, as they are offered only at the company level and not per project. In 2023, Vivaldi explored and trialled alternative financing strategies and in 2024 they commenced a crowdlending strategy.
Crowdfunds are often only part of a projects full cost, the rest being contributed by Vivaldi itself, or a JV partner.
Through LendForGood, Vivaldi has financed two other projects this year which are currently being delivered:
- The deployment of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) across Bogotá’s TransMilenio public transport system (August 2025).
- The installation of medical devices in ambulances for a UNOPS-led project in Peru (September–October 2025).
Both loans are still to be paid in early 2026 and like this project, directly support Vivaldi’s mission to expand access to health and strengthen emergency response capacity in Latin America.
Vivaldi is currently designing a Humanitaria Impact Finance Facility which will make it easier to commit to projects quickly when the need arises as the pre-financing will be available to support them. This is a development from the Vivaldi’s learnings delivering contract work, the time cost associated with sourcing the right finance vehicle, finding a gap in the global market for companies like Vivaldi. Ultimately to enable these kind of projects to operate supports not only Vivaldi but also other operators in frontier and emerging markets.

- IMPACT
Impacts and how they are measured
This loan supports Vivaldi’s participation in the broader Más Bienestar health program led by Bogotá’s District Health Secretariat. The overall initiative seeks to strengthen the city’s public healthcare network, expand access to quality services, and reduce inequalities in care across all localities. Vivaldi’s specific role focuses on supplying, installing and give 24 month of full technical service to biomedical devices—portable videolaryngoscopes, blood pressure Holters, fetal Dopplers, and portable videocystoscopes—within selected hospitals. These devices enhance diagnostic accuracy and early detection capacity, directly improving patient care within the facilities included in the program. The broader Más Bienestar model tracks progress through indicators such as the number of health sectors covered (852 of 1,170 to date), families integrated into risk management plans (254,772), and improved service continuity across the network. Vivaldi’s contribution will be measured by: By enabling this portion of the larger program to move forward, the loan ensures timely delivery of essential diagnostic tools that strengthen Bogotá’s public health capacity and advance equitable healthcare for all.
